Overview:

From October 30 to November 6 the Germans poured much of their combat power into the capture of Tula. One bludgeon-like blow, no finesse, after another was delivered from the south. After the long drive on Moscow, the Wehrmacht could ill afford the losses incurred. By 1200 hours on 30 October the Germans had to scrub ten tank and almost a full battalion of infantry from their rosters of combat effectives. The attacks were focused on breakthrough. No less than a company of motorized infantry was concentrated for the attack along the Stalinogorsk road. Another battalion of infantry, supported by 30 tanks, operated between the Orel and Stalinogorsk roads.
