GERMAN CLAIM
Reserves Released By Retreat In Russia (Received September 21, 9.50 P-in-) LONDON, September 21. A withdrawal of German reserves from the Russian battlefront in order to meet the Allied invasion of Italy is admitted by the Berlin newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter.” It says: “The Wehrmacht was facing a situation in Russia w was tending toward breaking-point, lhe Fuehrer, therefore, ordered flexible tactics henceforth to be adopted; the front line had to be straightened. AVe do not attempt to belittle the surrender of Kharkov, Novorossisk, Stalino. and Bryansk. This general retreat m Russia, however, has set free new reserves for us and it is because of these reserves that the British and American invasion of Italy is not a walk-over.”
