“NAZI WATERLOO”
SWEDISH VIEW OF MOZHAISK. DEFENDERS FROZEN AT POSTS. RETREAT TO SMOLENSK LIKELY. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Rec. 2.50 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 22. Military experts in Sweden describe Mozhaisk as the “Waterloo of the Russian War,” says the Stockholm correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph.” The Germans are now engaged in a race with the pursuing Russians for Vyazma. The Russians found 1000 of the German defenders of Mozhaisk frozen to death at their posts. They were clad in ordinary service uniforms and greatcoats, over which were pulled white shirts for camouflage. Independent military commentators in Stockholm believe that tho Germans will have to retreat to Smolensk before they can hope to stabilise their line.
