A surrounded army generally

the heavy losses.
Of course, the Soviet mecha-

the German advance 1t is true
that many Russian planes are old
crates and some Of their tanks
are only lightly protected But
all the same they have numbers
and don't mind sacrifices. AS
in the last war, when the masses
of Russian soldiers went into

without the divisions recoiling
before the better equipped AUS

divisions are sacrificing their men

stemming the German advance.
