First Battle of Kharkov, Oct., 1941

highlight
It is the final phase of Operation Barbarossa, and the German 6th Army, of Army Group South, is at the gates of Ха́рьков, in the Ukrainian SSR. Our Soviet 38th Army was ordered to defend the city while its factories were dismantled for relocation farther east.

The German 6th Army needed to take the city in order to close the widening gap between the 4th Panzer Group and the 17th Army. By 20 October the Germans had reached the western edge of the city, and the city was taken by the 57th Infantry Division by 24 October. By that time, however, most of Kharkov’s industrial equipment had been evacuated or rendered useless by the Red Army!
