The Germans used nearly every
weapon on modern warfare to
breach Russia's defenses on the
Perekop Isthmus, land link to the
Crlmea, front dispatches to Berlin
said tonight. They pictured the as
sault as one of the wars toughest
assignments.
A relentless advance southwark
into the peninsula, f1anked by the
Black Sea and the Sea of AZov, was
reported by the German high COM
mand today. This drive was linked
in the communique with a report
that the Red army also had been
forced to yield ground in the Donets
Basin.
The Germans said they had to
drive through five lines of case
mates, using flame -throwers and
every other weapon in their arsenal.
The isthmus is low-lying marsh
land with a solid footing of only
a dozen miles or so near the west
ern coast. In the center of this
was an elaborate trench and case
mate system more than five miles
long with excavations As feet deep
in some places and with sheer con-
crete walls in others.
Area Planted With Mines.
Interlaced with these defenses
were extensive fields of steel tank
traps and barbed wire entangle-
ments. The whole area was planted
with land mines.
Increasing German pressure in the
Russian south was seen in informed
London quarters as prelude to
an effort by Hitler to intimidate
Turkey and to open in the winter
a battlefront from the Caucasus to
italian Libya in Africa.
A British military informant sug-
gested these probably German OBJ
jectives:
/. To cut off Russia's main Black
Sea operating base of Sevastopol
with the hope of making it possible
for the German armies to operate
along the eastern shore of the Black
Sea during the winter.
Seek Russian Oil Fields.
2. To seize the Russian oil fields
near Krasnodar which are about
equal in production to Rumania's S
better known Ploesti area.
3. To cut the supply line for
American and British materials from
Iran through the Caucasus to
Russia.
