LONDON, Feb. 9-(R)-The
Russians have smashed to with

Of Berlin, and have exploded a
fresh offensive northwest OF
Breslau threatening the encir-
clement of that huge Silesian in
dustrial center, it was rported
today.
Marshal Gregory Zhukov un-
limbered one of the wars heavi-

fications along the Oder tempo

to Berlin.
One of the first towns to fall
in the new offensive of Marshal
Ivan Konev from his Maltsch
bridgehead over the Oder was
Parchwitz, 80 miles west-north-
west of Breslau, the Berlin radio
said. The German communique
said the First Ukrainian Army
thrusts had carried almost to
the east fringe" of Liegnitz,
rail center of 10000 little
more than eight miles southeast
of Parchwitz.
The Russian armies were
within 40 miles of closing the
escape gap from Breslau, city
of 615, 1000. The town of Kurtsch,
IL miles south of Breslau, was
captured yesterday.
German broadcasts said Thu
kov had stabbed to within %

farther than announced by the
Soviet communicate, which said
the Russians captured Reetz,
Bernstein and 100 other Pomer-
anian localities southeast Of the

Stargard, outlying citadel be-
fore Stettin.
The drive on Stettin, ~ miles
from Berlin, threatened to seal
off 1880 square miles of Ger
man Pomerania and trap scores
of thousands of Nazi troops to
the east.
Capture of the big ship-build-

the Russians a powerful north
