NO QUARTER IN STALINGRAD Power Of Defence (By Telegraph.—Preet* Assu. —Copyright.) (Received October 31, 1.25 a.m.) -LONDON, October 30. The infusion of six new German divisions into the third intensified assault against the Stalingrad factory area has not produced results except those measured by yards.
The ferocity of the fighting has increased ten-fold since the battle area was narrowed down. No quarter is asked or given. The maeliinegunners in every street remain at their posts and their fingers are clamped on to the triggers when their last breath is spent. Anti-tank gunners maintain fire at the advancing panzers till they are blown to shreds or horribly charred by the German flame-throwers. The Stockholm correspondent of "The Times” quotes a report published in Berlin which says that the Germans now do not believe the Red October works and the strong railway district to the south can be taken by infantry, because infantry in the past few days have got stuck and have been able to achieve only very slight progress. The Germans have been obliged to split up their efforts in several directions, while the Russian reserves in men and material appear to cross the Vilga inexhaustibly.
