Through Blizzard

MOSCOW, Nov. 30.-Soviet
shock troops have wrested an
other Don River stronghold
from the Germans under clear
ing skies on the Stalingrad front
and are pressing ahead through
a blizzard in the parallel often
sive west of Moscow, the Rus
slams said today.
Germans we're declared to be
dying at the rate OF 10000 daily
as Red Army divisions pushed
across the snow, utilizing tactics
perfected in the 194l-42 winter
drive.
While clouds vanished, cold pre-
vailed in the Stalingrad area. Wind
driven snow cut down visibility on
the central front. Moscow OBJ
servers said the joint operations
were the greatest undertaken by
the Russians in their II months
Of war.
New German lines on the east
bank of the Don were broken by the
Soviet troops and 1000 more Ger
mans were reported to have paid
with their lives for the luckless
siege of Stalingrad. The Russian
infantrymen we're supported by
tanks and artillery as they moved
forward in the second break
through in this sector reported in
two days.
London commentators said
that If the Germans sought to
organize a CONFERENCE.-The they
would have to pull in forces from
relatively quiet sectors, thinning

hoods and armed with automatic
rifles patrolled snow-co covered pine
forests and the open lands west of
Moscow to locate enemy positions

paths for the general advance

motors and roamed the skies on the
Stalingrad front in support of cav
airy and tanks slashing at the en-
envy lines Fifty loaded trucks and
II Nazi planes were reported de-
stroyed by Soviet squadrons in that
area yesterday.
Hundreds of thousands of pamph-
lets in the German language were
dropped on enemy positions, in
forming Nazi soldiers of the new
situation along the eastern front
and the climactic Allied drives in
North Africa.
Pravda said "the iron ring of our
troops is closing around the Ger
mans" in the Don-Volga zone. The
situation on the central front, where
Red Army vanguards are slashing
west of RzheZ, 100 miles northwest
of Moscow. was summed up with the
declaration that the Red Army men
vigorously overcome all obstacles,
