Wow. Things are collapsing even more quickly for the Germans in Ukraine.

The Germans have given up holding Eastern Ukraine and the race for the Dneiper is on. There are only five major crossings at Kiev, Kanev, Kremenchug, Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhe. The Germans have to funnel through those points and then fan out to defend the opposite bank before the Soviets can cross. Also, if the Red Army can beat the Germans to just one of those crossings it would have a huge impact on operations.
