Germans advancing on Korosten
Sunday, November 21, 1943 www.onwar.com

On the Eastern Front... German forces, having captured Zhitomir, extend their attacks northward toward Korosten.

In the Gilbert Islands... On Tarawa Atoll, more American troops (of the 2nd Marine Divison) land on Betio Island. There are heavy casualties initially. However, by noon some progress is being made in successfully landing more troops. Other American units land on Bairiki Island. On Makin Atoll, elements of the US 27th Infantry Division begin to advance on Butaritari Island.

In New Guinea... Attacks of the Australian 9th Division around Sattelberg gradually gain their objectives.

November 21, 1943:


"Reich Minister Richard Walther Darré greets Hitler in 1943.
Darré's background in agriculture and economics propelled him to the head of the Race and Settlement Office (RuSHA) and the head of the Office for Agricultural Policy.
He was dismissed from his posts for criticizing how Hitler and Himmler handled the war, and was consequently banished to his hunting lodge in Schorfheide, Germany."
