On the Eastern Front... Soviet paratroops drop near Cherkassy, south of the Dniepr River and link up with partisan forces in the area. The Soviet 2nd Ukrainian Front is attacking towards Cherkassy and ferries tanks across the Dniepr River on rafts and pontoons. German forces launch counterattacks.

In the Soviet Union... Two new military decorations are announced: the "Victory Order" for senior officers; and the "Order of Glory" for lower ranks.
