 The Ukraine,August 3,1941 The 11th Army,advancing on the right side of Army Group South, skirted the Rumanian border with

west, the 744th Engineer Regiment, less one company, was ordered to take Balta, preparatory to building a 24 ton highway
bridge across the Kodyma river just south of the town.
