German Hordes
Sweeping Ahead

men cut off in addition to a claim
of some 10000 prisoners in the
Voronezh sector.
The German communique claimed
that rapid progress still was being
made by Axis troops south of the
bend of the river Don, that enemy
men and material too great to
estimate" had been captured or en-
circled, and that the airforce had
marked the forward areas with
battering attacks on Rostov, Novo-
roSsick and other targets. where big
fires we're started.
GREATEST BATTLE
The greatest single battle Of the
southern front still ragged around
and in Voronezh, but that blazing
city on the German flank had be-
come most important as symbol
of Russian resistance and as a
measure of enemy losses. Its mill
tary Importance in the main Axis
offensive toward the Caucasus was
decreased as the Germans extend
ed their grip along the Don river
and pushed into the big bend, but
the NaziS still must keep up the at
tack to protect their flank and to
make good on their false claim last
week that VOronezh had been taken.
dispatches from the frcnt today
made it clear that the German high
command would pay with the lives
Of many thousands of soldiers and
of q lyc
planes in an effort to save face
by taking the city. Russian shock
troops continued a series of coun-
terattacks that slashed into the
enemy flank in both sides of Vor-
onezh and pushed the Germans
back at some points in bloody
fighting that ragged over scores Of
small wooded hills. through vii
lagos that changed hands many
times, and from building to building
in the southern outskirts of Vor-
onezh itself.
SUPERIOR NUMBERS
The Germans had moved large
dive bomber Squadrcns and troops
in superior numbers across the Don
to reinforce the attack on the city,
but Russian Stormovik assault
planes artillery and antitank guns
were striking at them constantly
and frequently showing them back
in couriterthrusts that were designed
primarily to slow down the German
attack and make it as costly as pos
siblc.
Stiff fighting also was in prog
ress on the Kalinin sector where
the Germans were attacking south
west of Rzhev in an effort to pro-
tect their communications lines.
Red army counterattacks have been
cutting into the Axis lines in this
sector for several days but there
have been no important changes
in the front generally.
