German tank knocked out on the Eastern Front [photo at link]

On the Eastern Front... The 3rd Panzer Corps strikes Soviet positions on the Mius River, north of Taganrog, without success.

In London... The minister of labor, Ernie Bevin, announces that women up to age 50 must register for war work. It is an indication of the strain on labor resources in Britain resulting from mobilization for war.

In Sicily... The British 78th Division arrives at the front and attacks toward Paterno.
