The AK surrenders to Germans

General Bors surrenders to the Germans [photo at link]

In Occupied Poland... The Warsaw uprising, led by the Polish Home Army (AK), comes to an end. An estimated 200,000 Poles have died in the fighting. Most of central Warsaw is in ruins.

On the Western Front... The US 1st Army (part of US 12th Army Group) launches an offensive against the German-held Siegfried Line between Aachen, to the south, and Geilenkirchen, to the north.

In the Palau Islands... On Peleliu, pockets of Japanese resistance on Mount Amiangal are cleared. Fighting around Mount Umurbrogol continues.

German map for Aachen and the Ardennes. Nope, nothing to be worried about in the Ardennes. It's a quiet sector.

Patton's Third Army and German 1st Army continue the slugfest at Metz.
