Soviet forces advancing on Kiev are briefly stalled at the Dnieper River until a tank unit crosses a shallow ford and promptly drives the Nazis from the city. The Soviet charge through Ukraine becomes a war of attrition for the Nazis which are quickly weakened to the point they can no longer counter attack. The Soviets soon capture the critical Romainian oilfields. As they drive into Hungary, Hitler reinforces his southern forces with units badly needed to defend against the Soviet main offensive in the German homeland.
