they are credited with being par
ticularly accurate with their hand
grenades. Women physicians and
nurses are regimented on an enor-
nous scale. and their care for their
wounded is known to be excellent.
There are stories Of the individual
heroism Of many Of the nurses who
have saved their wounded soldiers
In the forests and SHOWS to be told
some day to thrill the world.
The best information available Is
that there are no armed regiments
Of women soldiers fighting along
side the men at the front, as has
been reported frequently. That story
undoubtedly grew out Of the fact
that the women have been seen in
the second line, not far from the
front.
The Germans did not estimate
correctly the ability, determination
or courage Of Russian women. That
Is another Of the miscalculations the
Hitler command made. Just as they
underestimate the resistance and
solidarity of the Soviet Union, the
danger Of being caught in that ter
rife blanket Of subzero cold, 30 they
overlooked many lesser factors

LONDON.-The Germans appear
to be scoring with what is reported
to be much-improved anti-aircraft
defense.
Take the reports on two Of the
mass raids the British made In No.
vember, which cost them 56 bombers
ST on November 6 and 10 the night
Of November 80.
Although the British blamed
"devilish weather" for hall the
losses earlier In the month, defenses
got the rest, and were reported to
have been responsible for the losses
on November 80.
Recent heavy bomber losses are
frankly attributed to the concen-
tration and accuracy Of the German
ground defenses.
Jerry is using searchlights by
the hundreds" one British pilot
said, but the funny thing !ately
is that they all seem to switch on
at once. We go in in darkness, no
beams around, and level out az
bombing height. Suddenly great
wall of light flashes up."
Terrific Gun BarraEes.
Another said: People IN TINS
country think they've got gun par
RACES, but none of them compares
with the tremendous concentration
of light and heavy guns the Ger
mans USE"
A third added that he believed
the Germans used night fighters

The opposing argument was tAat
British losses were due to the fact
that their bombers went down ana
in" for their detectives, and didn't
stay high and out Of range ike
the Germans-a view which found
plenty Of support.
IF Jerry tried to attack British
targets at the same height as we
did those in Germany they'd have

No Recent Mass Raids.
protagonists of the British meth
cd of anti-aircraft defense seemed
untroubled. They argued that, as
a whole, I'VE get the better re-
suits" adding anyway the Ger
mans haven't tried mass raid for
a long time. When they do-weu,
I'd better not say any more"
One remarked that "the ratio OF
German losses compared to the
number Of planes sent over Is much
higher than ours, and I think 1t
will remain So"
He added, Our searchlights do
their job all right, and Jerry
knows it."
1t was pointed out that British
planes mostly relied on navigational
methods for reaching their targets,
but, said the same speaker. Il can't
say the German beam system is
quite as successful. They let 60

Forming their voluntary auxil-
