 Rommel was taking heavy pun ishment. His armored concentra- tions, concentrated along with his supply trains within a ring of anti tank guns. were subjected to ceaseless night and day attack
 The German field marshal was believed to be doing his best to kep his forces intact while he await ed achievements, especially heavy guns, before he struck the next blow in the supreme offensive to which he now seemed committed, an at- tempt to break through to SueZ
 The United States army tank unit which joined the British armored corps in the first phase of Rommeps offensive destroyed numerous enemy tanks and one tank crew alone got six and probably eight.
 Some slight wounds were the only casualties among the 98 men in- cluding six officers in the IS United States tanks.
 American Unit Small
 It was made plain that the Amer ican unit was only a tiny one in @ battle involving hundreds of tanks on each side and that its men were sent into action, intermingled with British crews, to get experience in desert warfare rather than to be- come regular armored unit. The crews are to be returned to the United States to report on the per- formance of the army's General Lee and General Grant Tanks and to act as instructors to American tank troops.
 American and other Allied bomb- ing planes, in addition to attacking enemy targets throughout the bat tie area, ranged wide over the sea in raids on enemy shipping and on land targets. ..
 An army air force cominunique announced that United States heavy bombers had successfully at- tackled an enemy convoy in the cen- tral Mediterranean and scored near misses on 8 destroyer and uncon- firmed hits on merchant ships.
 In addition to these Allied suc- cesses, an army communique an- nounced that United States heavy bombers scored direct hits on two ships at Herakleion (Candia) Crete and returned safely.

 OF WHOLE WAR

wounded Germans tried to crawl back across the battlefield to the safety of ravines. Dispatches said the Germans had shot their own wounded if they refused to get up and attack again.
 Southwest of Stalingrad, the Ger mans had attacked like wild men, ignoring whitening machine gun and rife fire. They charged straight across the bare steppes and their bodies folded over one another.
 "The defenders (of StahngraO are determined to hold out to the last man." the army newspaper Red Star said. 'They don't retreat. If the Germans advanced In some places, they did so at tremendous cost, walking over the corpses of our heroes who died the death of the brave.
 "The enemy's wild efforts testify that he is using up his last forces taken from other fronts"
 As an example of the odds, one report ssHd six Soviet anti-tank men countered 30 German tanks, wrecked seven and damaged others.
 Fully % divisions - perhaps 375,- GOO Germans attacked on the northwest approach. Probably that many assaulted on the southwest sector, and 1000 German planes tried to pulverize Stalingrad itself.
 Penetration Made
 Dispatches said the grim battle southwest of Stalingrad began after 100 German tanks and three dlvl- sions (45,000 men) had penetrated Soviet positions between collective farm and 8 railroad and captured a small station. The Russians fiercely counter attacked, and positions changed hands many times, but the enemy failed to advance.
 The Germans then brought ur endorsements and opened a sec ond major attack. Russian infantry and machine gunners in trenches threw up wall of fire that moved the Germans down.
 GA dispatch from Zurich to Lon don said a German spokesman hao told neutral correspondents that German tanks had penetrated three suburbs of Stalingrad-two on tht northwest and one on the south west-and the fall of the city wal expected within 48 hours0
 Gle also was quoted that a spe' cial communique from Adolf Hit ler's headquarters today was ex pected to announce the fall of No vorossisk, the Soviet Black Sea nav al base.)
