the Allies will attack Norway. A

started to fortify the interior of
Norway. fearing that they may be
hurled back from the coast by the
weight of an Allied attack.
FULL EQUIPMENT
German ski troops. it was S9id
were patrolling hundreds of miles
inland in Norway and German Of
ficerS had forbidden their men to
leave any camp without carrying
full equipment.
The Russians moved closer to
Kharkov and Rostov today and
threatened TO unhinge the winter
defense line by the capture of the
two strong points. The fall of ci-
ther or both of the cities probably
would force the Germans TO fall
back all the way to the Dnieper
river.
A powerful force of SIS combat
troops, flower of the German army,
was routed southeast of Kharkov.
Before they were defeated, however
they struck out with sudden coun-
terattacks designed to halt the adj
vance of Col. Gen N. F.. VatutinS
forces. The Red army men re-
pulsed the attacks and then moved
over to the offensive themselves
and inflicted serious losses on the
SIS forces which finally broke and
retreated.
The Russians gained ground
northeast of Rostov between the
Don river and the railroad leading
10 Voronezh. Several inhabited
places were captured and the Red
army captured prisoners and war
materials.

In northern Tunisia the Allies
went into an offensive around Ma
