US Army breaks German Barbara Line
Saturday, October 30, 1943 www.onwar.com

An American column advances in Italy [photo at link]

In Italy... The US 5th Army captures Mondragone on the west coast after penetrating the German Barbara Line defenses in the area. Other elements of the army, further inland, continue their advance.

On the Eastern Front... Soviet forces advancing across the Nogaysk Steppe reach Genichesk, cutting one land route with the Crimea, where sizeable German forces are located.

In the Solomon Islands... The US 2nd Marine Parachute Battalion on Choiseul continue to engage Japanese forces. This is a diversion from the intended attack on Bougainville.
