Narrative:
I was assigned to work D side at osh. The sector was extremely busy. I could barely sequence and find strips. Aircraft were denied practice approachs. Grb departures were suspended. Aircraft Y was being vectored for final. He was converging with aircraft X, who was on a modified downwind. The controller expedited aircraft Y to safe altitude.

Title: ZAU HDOF CTLR ADVISES OF OPERROR DURING AN EXTREMELY BUSY TFC SIT AS ACFT WERE VECTORED TO FINAL AT KOSH.
Narrative: I WAS ASSIGNED TO WORK D SIDE AT OSH. THE SECTOR WAS EXTREMELY BUSY. I COULD BARELY SEQUENCE AND FIND STRIPS. ACFT WERE DENIED PRACTICE APCHS. GRB DEPS WERE SUSPENDED. ACFT Y WAS BEING VECTORED FOR FINAL. HE WAS CONVERGING WITH ACFT X, WHO WAS ON A MODIFIED DOWNWIND. THE CTLR EXPEDITED ACFT Y TO SAFE ALT.
