July 1st July 4th

Operation Seydlitz

On July 2nd, 1942, the Wehrmacht began an operation to eliminate the protrusions in the front line near Rzhev. A large group of Soviet troops was surrounded, some of them managed to break through and leave the cauldron after heavy fighting, but most did not. As a result of the operation, Germany lost only 4,000 soldiers, while the USSR lost about 60,000.

July 5th July 8th

Operation Citadel

On July 4th, 1943, Germany launched an offensive near Kursk, beginning the largest tank battle in history. Germany delayed the start of the operation for a long time in order to deliver new Panther tanks and large batches of Tiger tanks to the front. This allowed the USSR to prepare well and hold its ground. Victory in the Battle of Kursk allowed the USSR to seize the strategic initiative until the end of the war.

July 9th July 12th

Allied invasion of Sicily

On the night of July 9th-10th, Allied forces landed on Sicily from the air and sea, beginning military operations on the territory of the Axis countries. This caused panic in the German command and led to the transfer of German forces from the Kursk front to southern Europe. In mid-August, the remaining Axis forces on the island were evacuated from Sicily to Italy.

July 12th July 15th

Battle of Soltsy

From July 14th to July 18th, 1941, Soviet troops conducted a successful counteroffensive in the area of the city of Soltsy near Novgorod. The Wehrmacht leadership relaxed after the successful start of Operation Barbarossa and did not expect such resistance, thanks to which the German offensive on Leningrad was delayed for about a week.

July 16th July 19th

Beginning of the Battle of Stalingrad

On July 17th, 1942, one of the greatest battles in history began. More than a million Soviet soldiers fought against a million Axis troops, including Germans, Romanians, Hungarians, and Italians for six months. The Soviet victory in this battle became a turning point in the history of the Second World War.

July 20th July 23rd

Battle of Guam (1944)

On July 21st, 1944, American troops landed on the island of Guam. Their advance was hampered by dense jungle and tropical rains, but the Japanese garrison on the island suffered from a shortage of food and equipment. By August 10th, the island was finally under American control.

July 24th July 27th

Battle of Radzymin

On July 25th, 1944, the largest tank battle of the Second World War on Polish territory began near Radzymin, east of Warsaw. In the previous month, the Red Army had advanced about 500 km, which caused supply problems at the front. Germany, however, had been expecting an offensive near Warsaw and fought back with confidence: the Soviet 3rd Tank Corps was surrounded and almost completely destroyed, and the battle was lost.

July 28th July 31st

Operation Bluecoat

The American Operation Cobra broke through the Wehrmachts defensive line and on July 30th, 1944, British forces in Normandy began their offensive in support of the Allies. The success of Operation Bluecoat tied down German forces in the region and prevented them from launching a counteroffensive.
