On this day in 1941, Panzer divisions approached closer Moscow during World War II. Here is a British Movietone report showing how the Soviets continued fighting along the south fronts. In the south of Russia, the veteran Cossack regiment of Marshal Budenny's village has formed a People's Guard. The Soviet steel mills and munitions factories continue to increase their output. 1. In Marshal Budenny's hometown, a cavalry “Home Guard“ unit rides past and salutes the Marshal's aged mother. 2. Boys help the War Effort by repairing damaged railway lines. 3. Women auxiliaries are addressed in Moscow before they clamber into lorries and drive away to the front. 4. Shots inside the Soviet steel mills. 5. An armored train takes a position and opens fire on a Nazi post. 6. Dead Germans by motor-cycles and several shots of captured tanks, troops, trenches and guns. 7. German prisoners lined up. 8. Russian artillery blazes away. Disclaimer: British Movietone is an historical collection.
