REGIMENTS DESTROYED

Moscow dispatches, however, said
that counterattacks had Stemmed
the enemy and cost him tremendous
casualties. An indication of these
losses was given in isolated reports
OF fighting in which four German
regiments or about 10000 men were
destroyed (that is, eliminated as eff
fective military units).
Berlin reports OF the Ukraine op-
erations were more definite and
their claims were more specific than
at almost any time since the sum-
mer fighting began. German
newspapers said that the long
awaited offensive had started and
that a general onslaught along the
entire Russian front was to be eX-
pected in the next week.
Nazi-inspired reports by the Vichy
radio said that big scale air at
tacks had been launched against
Leningrad and the Soviet naval base
at Kronstadt, while fighting also
was reported on a considerable scale
along the Kalinn front, northwest
of Moscow. There the Russians
said they had repulsed strong Ger
| an attacks.
