Monday, February 14, 1944. Begging out of the Polish border question.

Three German soldiers, with Col. Andrews and Lt. Col. H. L. Reese of the 36th Division, during a 4-1/2 hour truce, Italy.

In the Action of 14 February 1944 the British submarine Tally-Ho sank the German submarine UIT-23, which had formally been an Italian submarine, but which had been impounded by the Japanese after Italy's surrender. The sinking took place off of Malaysia.  

The US, which had not entered the war to defend Poland, declared neutrality in the dispute between Poland and the USSR over the Polish border, which was still a chicken thing to do.

The Red Army occupied Korsun-Sevchenkosky, but the German resistance in the Korsun pocket remains strong, with a Belgian SS Brigade being particularly notable.
