December 20, 1941: German Armeegruppe Mitte reached a defensive line 100 kilometers to its west, where it was to stand and fight after Hitler countermanded Franz Halder and Günther von Kluge's order to withdraw six days earlier. #worldwar2 #history #BattleOfMoscow

December 16, 1941: Soviet forces captured Kalinin, Russia. It's now known as Tver. They were helped greatly by General Frost. The temperatures were around -42. I've been in Moscow at that temperature. Hard to imagine fighting in those conditions. #worldwar2 #history #BattleofMoscow

December 15, 1941: North of Moscow, Soviet tanks cut the road west of Klin; the German 3rd Panzer Army abandoned Klin at 2130 hours and fled to the southwest, abandoning most of its heavy equipment. On a related note, Soviet state offices moved back to Moscow. #worldwar2 #history #battleofmoscow
