Fall Of osonros


anrog last night "in execution OF
measures for shortening the front
after destroying all war installa-
tions in the town and harbor ac-
cording to plan, an official news
agency dispatch broadcast by the
Berlin radio said.
The Hedgehog defenses of Tagan-
rog, 35 miles west of Rostov, stop
ped both the 1941-42 and 1942-43
Russian winter offensives and its
evacuation came as a surprise TO
military quarters in London since
there had been no indication of an
immediate threat to the CITY.
However. the German broadcast
spoke of Soviet attempts to dis
tlarb" German troop movements
and asserted that German naval
forces in the sea of Azov sank TWO
of a force of six Soviet motor gun
boats southwest of Taganrog-an
indication that the Russians
launched a coordinated land and
sea drive against the port.
The fall of Taganrog opens the
way for a quick Soviet drive to the
Kalmus river, 60 miles to the west,
the next natural defense line, ana
outs the Red army on the march
along a 600-mile segment OF the
front from the sea of AZov to spas
Demensk, southwest of Moscow
Russian pressure on the northern
flank of German forces on the sea
of Azov, plus frontal attacks, may
force the Germans to withdraw to
Melitopol, below the big bend IN the
Dnieper river 100 miles farther
west.
The text of the German broad
cast announcing the evacuation OF
Taganrog follows:
I'm execution of measures Tor
shortening the front, which had
been prepared for some time, Tag
anrog was evacuated last night by
German troops.
DESTROY INSTALLATIONS
"An war-important installations
in the town and harbor were de-
stroyed according to plan. The
Soviets, in their attempt to disturb
German troop movements, suffer-
ed heavy losses through the de-
fense of German covering forma-
tions and through carefully-lald
minefields."
The same broadcast also reported
the sinking of two Soviet motor
gunboats in the sea of Azov south
west of Taganrog without loss to
the German naval forces.
More than so towns and villages,
including the railway junction OF
Lyubotin, fell to the Russians in
advances of up to seven and half
miles west and southwest of Khar-
kov yesterday, midnight commun-
iqCe said.
Other Russian successes were an
nounced on the Sevsk front, where
more than 16 localities were cap
tured, and south of Bryansk, where
more than 40 towns and villages
were captured, and south of Bry-
ansk, where more than 40 towns
and villages we're seized in advances
of up to nine and a half miles.

Indignation and anger were re-
sorted sweeping the tiny monarchy,
but the people were helpless in the
face of overwhelming German arms.
Royal guards at the Rosenberg
barracks near Copenhagen and at
Amalienborg castle resisted when
German troops sought to take over,
but finally ceased firing when King
Christian from his summer resi-
dence at Sorgenfri, outside Copen-
hagen, ordered resistance halted.
Sorgenfri at the time was surround
ed b. the Germans. Several Danes
and Germans were killed in the
clashes.
Though there were no further
reports of resistance, 1t was kelieved
likely that similar incidents occur
red at other Danish garrisons.
20 SHIPS SUNK
At least 20 of the scuttled }ar-
ships were sent to the bottom by
their crews at the naval docks at
Copenhagen, including the $500
ton armored coast defense ship
Peder Skram, nine submarines, two
new coastal destroyers and two

defense ship, the 3,800-ton Niels
Iuel, attempted to escape from 1se

LONDON, Aug. 80. (UP)-A high
Danish source here received word
today that German occupation
forces had arrested all active army
and navy officers in Denmark, esti-
mated to total 1,500.
Underground advices of the round
up of some 1000 army and 300
navy officers also told of the seiz-
ure of numerous other Danish lead
ers.
a spokesman said it had been
confirmed that the Germans had
four prominent members OF
the Danish conservative party, in
Guiding Wilhelm Fibiger, as we'll as
many other political leaders sus-
pected by the Nazis of associating
with the free Danish leader, Christ
mas Moeller.
a Informants said Gen. Hermann
Won Hannexen, commander of the
German occupation forces, ordered
the arrest of all active army and
navy officers Saturday, apparently
in an effort to put brake on re-
sistance" The arrests began immed-
lately.
ROUND UP OFFICERS
German patrols in armored cars
began rounding up the officers,
warning them not to resist or try
to escape.
Despite the warning the DAN
ish guard outside Rosenberg Castle
fought brave fight for several
hours against superior German
forces" a spokesman said.
Danish sources said the royal
guard at Analienborg Castle re-
eeived direct orders not to resist
the Germans, but ignored them.
Reports reaching us say the
Danes fought a long time in the
square outside the palace before
the;- were overwhelmed by superior
numbers of German soldiers" a
spokesman said.
A free Danish council spokesman
said several hundred Danish pa
triots, including members of the
anti-Nazi underground organization,
had escaped to Sweden in the past
70 hours despite a close German
air and sea patrol.
A Danish council spokesman said
he expected the Germans to disar m
the Danish army at once. He es-
tinlated it's strength at 10000 men.
The latest reports said that calm
and order certainly do not exist

FULLER EXPLANATION

Churchills address was expected
to contain fuller elaboration on
decisions reached at Quebec than
disclosed by Mr.. Roosevelt's speech
at Ottawa where the President
devoted a large portion OF his
remarks to Canadian-America re-
lations. But he will not give the
Axis-or the Allied listening pub
lic-more than a generaliZed hint
on future war plans.
Churchill arrives here sometime
early this week to continue his
talks with Mr.. Roosevelt. The best
bet, and most significant, too,
was that while the two leaders are
together again they will devote
some attention to Russian and the
tri-partite meeting which they
said in Quebec might be possible
to arrange.
