Thaw Again Plays
Big Role in

Write. Espcclslls ter Iatl News service
AS THE spring sun grows
warmer day by day, the thaw-
line creepS northward over Rus
sian steppeS and plains. The
thaw is the biggest Strategic
factor In the war on the Russo
German front Just now. Men
can fight in the winters eN-
tremest cold. as the Red army
has proved so dramatically dur
ing the past months, but no
device Vet invented by man can
enable armies 10 maneuver IN
seas OF mud.
The melting season began on
the Black Sea in February. BY
the first Of the present month II
had moved north Of RoStov.
Now warm rains are turning
the plains around Kharkov into
a sea of mud.
Soon the whole vast sweep
ot territory from LenInGrad 10
Sevastopol will be a bottomleSs
morass. Then pause must
come TO the fighting until the
sun dries and hardenS the soil
so that wheeled transport can
move again.
NEITHER THE Russian Of
fensive in the north, which has
just completed the hopping up
of wanna, nor the NaZi drive
in the Ukraine that has taken
Kharkov are likely 10 continue
much longer nor penetrate much
farther.
Apparently the Red army
command in the Ukraine and
= the Donets basin had counted
on the spring pause and with
drawn some of its forces for
employment farther north,
which facilitated the present
Nazi rebound,
The German stroke was the
more unexpected in that If was
the first time in the present war
that the NaZis have attempted
an offensive Of any Importance
P in the winter.
Not the least remarkable fea-
ture of the present war Is the
fact that the Nazis have won all
their important successes in the
hot weather, while the Russians
have been uniformly victorious
in winters sub-zero cold.
ACCORDING TO Soviet COM
muniques. the Nazi drive. which
, began about 10 days ago, was
launched with % fresh divi-
sions, at least 13 OF them re-
Gently transferred from Western
Europe.
These struck in two prongs,
according TO the traditional Ger
man pincer method. One arm
of the pincer came down from
the bases of Bryansk and Orel
in the north, the other up along
the railroad from Stalino and
Dniepropetrovsk, pinching off a
salient 200 miles broad by about
100 miles deep at its widest
point.
Importance OF the drive stra-
logically is that II puts the
Russo-German front line on the
Donets River from Voroshilov-
grad to Kharkov.
THIS DEFINITELY contra
diets the widely held opinion
that the Nazis intend to retire
10 the Dnieper River. the So
called Moltke line. and fight a
defensive war against the Sow
cts from this time forward.
Kharkov and the Donets River
line are the jumping-off place
for offensive action towards Sta
lingrad. the Volga and the eau
caSus. That is where the German
drive Of last summer was
launched and the desperate Nazi
winter drive that retook, Khar-
kov, the Pittsburgh Of Russia.
makes il seem probable that
Hitler's high command has an
other all-or-nothing throw in the
same direction in mind for the
present season.
