leveling three-quarters of the city
with cold brutality rivaling that
shown in the earlier bombings of
Rotterdam, Belgrade, and London.
On that same day began the battle
for Stalingrad proper.
The Germans. holding great su-
periority in tanks and aviation,
punched their blows on the main
sector northwest of Stalingrad
hoping to take the city by storm.
Again they were disappointed.
They were able to advance, but
their hoped-for rush was slowed
down to walk. They we're within
Is miles of the city limits on Sep
TENDER l. On September Is, they
reached the outskirts of the city.
On September %, they were en-
gagd in street-fighting within the
city.
By then the Red army had taken
its stand. both inside and-more
important-around the city. The
Germans attacked daily with as
many as eight infantry divisions,
five hundred tanks and 1900 to O.
900 plane flights, but no longer
could they break through the Rus
sian lines. The struggle for Stall
ingrad became a pitched battle,
like those of the first World War.
How were the Russians able to
halt this formidable foe? W h y
were the Germans not able to ad-
vance farther? There was really
no mystery about it. The answer,
quite simply, was that the Ger
mans did not have sufficient
strength to carry through the at
tack. and the Russians did have
sufficient strength to repulse the
attack.
The Germans had made the (for
them) fatal mistake of dividing
their forces. 1t was the same
mistake they had made during the
first World War when they divert
ed a few divisions eastward. in
stead of concentrating everything
on the Schlieffen plan for capture
of Paris. This time. they sent a
few divisions chasing off into the
North Caucasus in an effort to
deceive the Soviet command into
believing their m j or objective
was the oil of Baku. They concen-
trated many more divisions in the
Orel sector for the later. suppos-
edly decisive, action against Mos

enough to win victory at Stain

which time they had hoped Stall
lngrad would be theirs. They put
on a new offensive November II,
narrowing their attacks down to
sectors two hundred to four hun
bred yards wide, instead of two to
three miles wide. Then their OBJ
Jectlve was only to take the short

Secretary Anthony Eden ac-
qpainted the foreign ministers of
tie exiled governments in London
today with the broad decisions Of
tire recent Quebec conferences as

1t was believed in London, how
ever, that it might be some days
before formal announcement of

made. All three parties were said
to be agreed that such a confer

General Andrea Yeremenko took

with a firm hand, throwing out
anyone who showed any signs Of
deteatlsm or peSsimism, as ruth

before them. They brought in re-

The Germans, having failed to
take Stalingrad from the march.
settled down in late September to
an effort to batter the city into

already ruined, and they were at

wide sectors, attempting to occupy
the northern factory district,
where the resistance was strong

the city. The Russians had sue
ceeded in checking the enemy at
Stalingrad and building powerful
defenses around the city, but still,
il was a hard fight. Then, on Oc-
tober 9. came startling reversal
in the situation.
The German command announc-
ed on that day that it had adopted
new tactics at Stalingrad, with
drawing the bulk of its infantry
and tanks from the fray, and sub
stituting artillery and divebomb-

completion of the task. The only
lives it saved were Russian. For
the slaughter then diminished and
eventually virtually every German
