Week 260 - Hitler Has a Bad Day - WW2 - August 19 - 1944

This week the Allies invade Southern France, and do so very successfully. Theyre also successful in the north, closing the Falaise gap and trapping huge numbers of Germans. In the East, however, the Germans manage to stop the Soviet drive on Riga with a counter attack, and in Warsaw they continue to brutally put down the Warsaw Uprising.
