Over 10,000 Polish Jewish residents of the Stanisławów Ghetto, part of the town of Stanisławów, which had been a prewar Polish provincial capitol, and then part of the Ukraine following the 1939 Soviet invasion, and at this time under German control, were murdered by the Germans. The massacre was ordered by Hans Krueger of the SS.
Krueger survived the war, and entered private life following it, ultimately entering politics. He claimed to have been an antifascist, but his public activities brought accusations as to whom he actually was, and he was arrested and put on trial in 1967. He had assumed no victims of his crimes remained alive, but had apparently forgotten that some captives were spared the massacre for various reasons, including Countess Karolina Lanckorońska, whose family had paid a ransom for her life, which resulted instead to her spending the rest of the war in a concentration camp. Krueger had admitted to her that he'd murdered twelve Jewish individuals, which was used at the trial. Other survivors of the ghetto also emerged during the trial, which ran two years, and which featured anti Semetic outbursts from Krueger. He was convicted and remained in prison until 1986. He died in 1988.
Ironically, Lanckorońska actually had been arrested for partisan activities. She's survived the war and died in 2002 at age 104.
For reasons that are unclear, the Germans transferred the Spanish Blue Division from Operation Typhoon to a quiet portion of the line outside of Leningrad.
The Licheng Rebellion broke out against the Chinese Communist Party in part of that country which it controlled. The rebellion was unsuccessful, although it had been long in the planning.
