"Everyone watches the sky- expecting German bombers. Suddenly, high up, a dozen aerial shapes sailing at us in triangular formation. Panic!"
Refugees flood toward Moscow, fleeing Wehrmacht. Vasily Grossman reports: "I thought I'd seen retreat at Kiev; this is Biblical Exodus!"
Grossman needs a Red Army pass giving permission to leave city- but the office is closed. Soviet bureaucrats have "the immovable calm of ignorance mixed with hysterical fear".
Russian journalist Vasily Grossman is in Oryol near Moscow- Germans have smashed through Red Army & hundreds of panzers are heading straight for the city.
Operation Typhoon has begun: as first stage of planned mass assault on Moscow, Germans troops are surging south of the city to encircle Soviet armies.
British & American diplomats are still skeptical that Stalin will stay in power until next year- but feel they have to try & slow down the "German juggernaut".
Anglo-American trade treaty agrees to send huge military aid to USSR: USA will send 400 tanks & 360 planes a month to Stalin from next July- assuming Germany has not already conquered the Soviet Union.
Legless British pilot Douglas Bader has been caught trying to escape from German prisoner of war camp, climbing down a rope of knotted sheets- his artificial legs are now confiscated nightly.
Wave of Nazi executions in Prague mark a grim anniversary- three years ago today, British & French governments signed the Munich Pact, condemning Czechs to German domination.
Over 33,000 people have been killed in last two days at Babi Yar, their stripped corpses filling the ravine- by far the largest single Nazi massacre yet.
After overnight break to let exhausted SS killing squads rest, thousands more Jewish inhabitants of Kiev have been massacred today at Babi Yar, Ukraine.
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressing UK Parliament on war situation: "I cannot give them any flattering hopes, still less any guarantee, that the future will be bright or easy." ibiblio.org/pha/policy/194…
Wehrmacht tanks & troops are streaming towards captured Smolensk, ready for Hitler's cherished Operation Typhoon: a massive attack on Moscow.
