  • October 1944: Despite intensive planning before the Petsamo-Kirkenes Offensive, the initial attack on 7 October immediately met with problems. Poor visibility made it difficult to co-ordinate artillery and fire support, slowing the assault. Nevertheless, after some fierce fighting the Soviets broke through the German lines on the Titovka River.
