The Bottle in the East

On january IL, lS45, SCaun began
his fourth great winter offensive. It
probably was the greatest of them
all in power and effectiveness.
Marshal Ivan Konev led of with
a smash from his Vistula bridge
head toward Krakow, toppled that
stronghold of ancient Polish kings
and continued at a 13-mile-a-
day clip into Germany's industrial
Silesia to break across the Oder
River, most important natural de-
Tense line in the Eastern Reich.
Marshal Georgy zhukov hit with
similar power. toppled Warsaw, the
blackened and ruined Polish capital
which had stood up under so many
months of Soviet attack, and sped
on through Western Poland.
While Berlin thus became directly
menaced, two other Soviet armies
closed on East Prussia and began an
amazingly swift overrunning of that
proud and rich old junker strong
hold.
Zhukov never stopped until he
reached the Oder at points only 81
miles from Berlin.
On February 4, the day Marshal
Stain met President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill at Yalta,
zhukov was closing upon Kuestrin
and Frankfurt, the two most i'm
portant Oder River fortresses guard
ing Berlin.
Zhukov succeeded, in the surprise
of the moment, in Selling some small
bridgeheadS over the Oder. But the
urgency of German defense meas
ures-the rushing of reserves from
the western front. the hasty erection
of dense trench systems and other
defenses by thousands o. civilians,
the throwing of thousands of ILL
trained civilians, the Volkssturm,
into the battle-succeeded in hating
zhukov along the general line of the
Oder.
Konev's momentum carried him
across that barrier with scarcely a.
pause. Here he deprived the Ger
mans Of their second most important
industrial area, Silesia, by fighting
into Breslau, selling the most i'm
portant factory centers and cutting
of the rest from easy communica-
ton with the Reich. He found the
main German line OF defense along
the Neisse. There he. too, was
stopped.

Mr.. Sanford, who came from
