All Nazi Gains in
Attacks Are Wiped
Out, Stain Says
10000 Germans Killed
Since July 5 on South
Front; 100000 Routed

LONDON, July 24-UP)
Premier Marshal Josef V.
Stain declared today that
the Germans had lost more
than 10000 killed in fierce
attack and counter-attack since
July on the south-central Rus
sian front where the Axis often
sive was completely frustrated and
the Red army threw back the
enemy nine to Is miles toward Orel.
"In the fiercest battles, our
troops wore down and bled white
picked German divisions and by
following counter-blows not only
threw back the enemy completely
but also broke through the enemy
defenses," Stain said in an order
of the day, which said the Germans
used 38 divisions or probably AGO.
900 to 100000 men. The operations
were on the Orel- Belgorod Kursk
sectors.
II DIVISIONS
The Germans, who used II tank
divisions and three motorized
divisions in addition to l8 infantry
divisions, have suffered huge losses
in war material as we'll as men
since July 5, Stain said.
In the same period he said, 2900
enemy tanks were destroyed or
damaged. and 1892 enemy planes
were destroyed.
The German offensive penetrated
only five and one half miles in the
Orel-Kursk direction on the south
central front, Stain said. And 1t
gained only nine to 18 miles in the
Belgorod- d-Kursk direction.
1t has now been completely
frustrated, he said, and the situa-
ton has been fully restored by Red
army counter-attacks which broke
through the enemy defenses and
advanced from nine to is miles in
the Orel direction.
MOSCOW, July "a (UP--Heavy
rains and intensified German
counter attacks. in some OF which
5000 infantrymen and $50 tanks

With Muddy roads impending

vanced three to four miles yester-
day toward Orel from the north,
east, and south, the smallest gains
reported since the Red army began
it's offensive II days ago.
However, the Russians already
were through the last defenses out
