Two Great Cities
Fall to Soviets

unspecified point the Red army
encircled and wiped out the entire
23rd German division, killing its
commander.
The early collapse of the hard
pressed German positions in the
big Dnieper pocket of the Ukraine
was regarded here as a foregone
conclusion as Red armies stepped
up n double-edged offensive aimed
at trapping an estimated 100000
NaziS.
CHARGE INTO SUBURBS
Tanked-paced infantry charged
into the northern suburbs of Krivoi
Rog, field dispatches said, and laid
.iege to the railroad junction and
IRON mining center union which is
one of the last German baStions
protecting the approaches to Niko-
laey, big Black sea port.
AS one Soviet column swept into
Krivoi Rog from the north, another
wheeled around it, by-passing it to
the west. The double strain of the
frontal assault and the thanking
squeeze was expected TO bring quick
results.
With Krivoi Rog considered COM
paratively easy prey to the Rus
slams, the Red armys next objec-
tive in that sector presumably was
Kasterovo, 20 miles to the east and
the only railroad over which Ger
man armies remaining in the east
ern portion of the Dnieper bend
including Dnepropetrovsk, could
flee.
The Germans were putting UP
fierce resistance in the Dniepei
bend, but official reports and front
dispatches said they everywhere
were overwhelmed. On one sector
alone, the Russians routed a Naz
infantry regiment and set fire tc
80 tanks. Twenty-four German
planes were shot down in air COM
bat.
