The finish forces were again able to make great progress and most noteworthily were able to cross the river into Greater Finnland.

After last weeks success in the marshes the Soviets reasonably Sir Robined out most units around Pskov. This did leave 4 fueled up German divisions with a lot of land and few units to conquer, though.

AG Center was able to hold last weeks pocket closed. With some units not having participated last week and finally having fuel it was decided to try to enlarge it somewhat.

As was true for this week in AG South. Last turns pocket was cleared and the mobile divisions rested and refueled.

In the north the pocket did hold and the Soviets had fully retreated behind the Luga.

In the Center the new pocket was broken by one of those pesky cavalry divisions.

In the south a lot of fueled up panzers needed something to do.

The Finnish Army reached a line of barely manned forts at the prewar border north of Leningrad and Field Marschal Mannerheim commanded them to stop despite the fact, that they could easily have broken through into the city. Von Leeb was furios, but could do little about it. In Eastern Karelia the advance continued without opposition.

The 8th week of the war sees the Soviets retreating from the Luga.

In the center the main Soviet line of resistance seems to have retreated again without heavy fighting.

At AG South, much to von Runstedts regret, the pocket is broken. Rather inexplicably there is neither good documentation about the fight or useful maps showing the event well. That might have to do with the wrong rumor that the Großdeutschland regiment has retreated after only a single battle. This is of course known to be wrong, as they are incapable of such cowardly an act.
