FIERCE BATTLES
RUSSIAN FRONTS
Desperate Attempt To Relieve Leningrad N.Z. Press Association.—Copyright Rec. 2 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 11. While the Russians at Stalingrad continue to strengthen their defensive positions, the Luftwaffe is operating heavily across the Volga in order to reduce the possibility of a renewed Russian threat against the Caucasus. The Germans in the Central Caucasus are making strenuous efforts to penetrate the long broad valleys between Nalchik and Vladikavkaz. Furious battles for the heights are being waged north-east of Tuapse and between Tuapse and Novorossisk with results generally favouring the Russians. A Moscow message states that the Russians have broken into Schlusselburg, 25 miles east of Leningrad, and fierce fighting is going on to decide the future possession of the city. On the outcome the relief or cootinued isolation of Leningrad depends.
