The War On
Many Fronts
tBy United Pressl

: Russian forces pressed battles OF
humiliation against two trapped
German armies totaling about 49,
600 today and made the heaviest
air raid of the war on Helsinki in
what may prove to be the start of
a campaign to knock out Finland
out of the war.
On the italian front, the German
command poured reinforcements
into mounting attacks on the Allied
beachhead below Rome. The Ameri-
can and British troops appeared to
be hold their main lines, but likely
had been forced to pull back some
of their invesion spearheads.
Some go miles to the southeast
American tanks and assault troops
clamped an arc against Casino,
key base of the Gustav line before
the main Fifth Army front. Hard
won gains almost completed the
enlightenment of Casino, inside
which the Germans still fought
grimly.
Russia's telling blows against the
German invaders all along wind
ing front of 1000 miles, and against
the capital Of Finland, made it
plain that crucial events were at
hand on the eastern front.
While Finland was in virtual iso-
lation due to the Red Army adj
vances on the northern 'front.'. two
forces of more than 100 Russian
bombers each smashed at Helsinki.
The He,sinh radio said SO persons
were killed and 232 wounded in
two raids, comprising the heaviest
blow at the capital in this war.
At least 20 big fires were started
in the first three-hour raid. carried
out in the moonlight, advices re-
layed through Stockholm said. Fires
still were cracking through the city
when the second raiding force swept
In soon after midnight.
Red Army Hammers
The Red Army meanwhile was
hammering two German pockets
containing whatever remained of
the 10 and five divisions respective
ly that were victimized by Soviet
enlightenment drives.
Even while the first and second
armies Of the Ukraine were proceed
ing with the determination of 10
divisions enveloped along the mid
die Dnieper, the Third Army was
revealed to have sprung a trap of
its own at the. eastern tip of the
Dnieper bend salient.
In five days of fierce fighting,
the Third Army broke through the
German lines along a 1O5-mile front
to a depth of 81 miles in the Krivoi
Rog- Nikopol area, reaching the
lower Dnieper and cutting all roads
Of escape for five German divisions.
Seven more divisions were routed,
and in the first phase Of the Of
fensive $4,000 Germans were killed
and 1000 more captured.
Allied headquarters in Algiers an
nounced that all German attacks on
the Anglo-American beachhead
south Of Rome were repulsed yes
terday and many prisoners had fall
en- into Allied hands.
The 715th German Infantry d.
vision was revealed to have moved
down from southern France to join
in the battle for Rome. That made
a total Of five German divisions or
smaller units facing the invaders.
German elite guards had been
thrown Into the battle previously.
The main weight of the German
counter-campaign was aimed at the
Allied positions in the sector north
OF Carroceto. on the Rome-Nettuno
road. Allied artillery fire smashed a
German formation Of tanks and as
sat1t troops massing two miles north
Of CaHroceto.
