But the capture of Smolensk.
which the Germans held since "a
days after their June %, l941, at
tack on Russia, marked Germany's
darkest day in the East and Mos
cows greatest hour.
There was no indication how soon
the Germans would be able to at

Russians would be able to maintain
the terrific force of their offensive

they dominated at the peak of their
victories.
Nazis Try to Minimize Loss.
The Russian summer offensive has
regained $4,000 square miles of ter
ritory from the Germans.
AS in the fall of Bryansk. the
Germans again sought to minimize
the disaster at Smolensk, declaring
in communique, hours before the
Russian announcement, that the
city had been evacuated" after
they had destroyed all military in
stallations.
Col. Ernst Won Hammer, military
correspondent Of the Nazi Inter-
national Information Bureau with
the German armies at the Eastern
Front, said evacuation measures
were started three weeks ago and
were speeded up in the last few
days while Nazi rearguards fought a
successful defense battle.
Berlin said the, evacuation was
completed early today after the COW
ering forces blew up bridges and
crossroads and the last German
transport had left the city.
Since the spic of Stalingrad nine
months ago, the Red Army has
driven the Nazis westward $50 miles
and now stands only $50 miles from
the old Polish border.
The Berlin. radio said tonight the
Russians had made numerous at
tempts to cross the lower Dnieper,
where it stands between them and
the stronghold of Kiev.
On the Kuban bridgehead, Rus
