All three OF these men-Stettin.

worked closely together since Stet-

The sudden elevation OF Stettin-

to have been the result OF COrdell

Plains Freezing

Moreover-and this is important
its only now that the great plains
Of Eastern Europe through which
the Vistula winds are freezing so
u at they will once more bear the
weight OF war machines. The fall
rains turn this whole area into
sea Of mud which is among the
worlds worst Generally by the
time the frosts have frightened up
the terrain. and by about the mid
die OF December virtually all the
rivers will be frozen so that the
ice will bear the weight OF troops
and equipment.
However. apart from the mud and
bad weather, it's understandable
that the Red command should want
to iron out those two great flanks
before making another drive
against the German center on the
Vistula Those flanks would con-
stitute a danger 10 the Red advance
