  GERMANS MADE ERROR AS RUSSIANS ATTACKED General Progress Noted on All Fronts By Russians
 in Daily Reports
BY NJ. $, HANDLER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Moscow, December 3. - (UP) = Russian forces have captured Verchne-G -Gnilovsky, one of the Germans most im- portant bases on the east bank of the Don river, north- west of Stalingrad, in a sud- den move that may force the Nazis to abandon all their positions between the Volga and the Don, front dispatches said today.
 Verchne- -Gnilovsky is the back. bone of the Germans defense sys- tenn in the area northwest of Stal- ingrad. The Qualifications co1i- prise several fortified villages threat ening the flank of Soviet forces drlv- ing against the Germans from thu north and south on the west bank of the Don. From Verchne- -Gnilov- sky, the Germans were in position to send men and supplies to the Don's west bank if necessary.
 Capture of verchne- Gnilovskyl situated on high terrain command. ing all northern and eastern ap- breaches and a bulwark against frontal attack, was disclosed by the Army newspaper Red Star.
 Maxi Commander Erred
 The Russians assaulted the posi-. tion when the German commander erred and sent large force oi Axis troops to the river bank te prevent Soviet forces from crossing from the west.
 The commander at verchne- Gnil. ovsky also turned his artillery to the west in support of the German remnants battling on the opposite bank of the river.
 The west bank of the Don is con- siderably higher than the east bank at this point, and the Rus sians, taking advantage of the Ter rain. turned their artillery toward Verchne- -Gnilovsky while the Soviet troops on the east bank launched a direct assault against the weakened garrison.
 Driving through a thick mine- field, Soviet infantry and tanks took the base by the end of the day
 Drive Through Lines
 Verchne- Gnilovsky is only 3S miles northwest of Stalingrad, where Russian shock troops were driving through line after line of German defenses despite stiffening resistance acheved through use of air borne endorsements.
 The Soviets continued their ad- vance southwest of Stalingrad and south of the steel city they drove the Germans from the shores of Q small lake. Inside the city. action was confined chiefly to heavy Rus sian artillery fire against the Axis strong points-emplacements and machine gun neStS--particularly iu the northern factory district.
 Fighting in deep snow drifts, with hlizzards reducing visibility to al. most zero, the Russians threw back German counter.attacks and con- tinued to widen and deepen theii wedges in the Nazi lines.
 Attack Rebuked
 The Soviets repulasd strong coun- ter-attacks along the Rzhev-Vyaz- ma railroad, northwest of Moscow, and east of Veliki Luki, only 75 milel from the Latvian border. The Ger. mans were trying desperately to cut off the deep Russian wedges in their lines.
 The newspaper Pravda reported that the Germans retreated after a three-day battle. failing 10 restore their positions along the Rzhev- vyazma railroad.
