VIOLENT CHARGE
GERMAN POSITIONS BROKEN. VICTORY ON TAMAN PENINSULA. THOUSANDS OF ENEMY DROWNED. (N.Z. Press Association-—Copyright.) (Rec. 9.40) LONDON, Oct. 10. Further details of the Russian victory in the Taman Peninsula show that Soviet troops in a violent charge broke into the last positions defended by the Germans and that Soviet tanks succeeded in reaching the shores of the peninsula, thereby pushing the Germans back and liquidating them. Eight invasion barges overcrowded with enemy infantry were sunk and great numbers of German troops were literally driven into the straits and drowned. Thousands of dead were left on a promontory jutting out into the sea. British Official Wireless.
