1941 - October 20-31

October 20-25
Eastern Front, Soviet Union
Germany halts the original Typhoon offensive and sets more limited objectives, reflecting the deteriorating weather and strengthening Soviet resistance. The Ukraine offensive has delayed the advance on Moscow. The Germans are now racing to beat the winter weather and the mobilization of Soviet men and equipment.

October 24
Eastern Front, Ukraine
The German Sixteenth Army enters Kharkov, the Soviet Union's fourth-largest city. Unlike the siege of Kiev, Joseph Stalin does not order a costly defense of the city. The Soviets' ill-equipped soldiers of the Southwest Front around Kharkov escape by making a gradual withdrawal.

October 31
Sea War, Atlantic
The US destroyer Reuben James, part of an escort group accompanying a British convoy, is sunk by a U-boat, claiming 100 lives.
