THE TANKS' LOSSES
GERMAN CLAIM RIDICULOUS
LIMITED SUCCESS OF SPECIAL
DEFENCES.
(REUIER'S TELEGRAM.) (Received August 27, 2.30 p.m.)
LONDON, 26th August. Reuter's correspondent at headquarters declares that the German claim that twenty-one tanks were destroyed is ridiculous. Only a fraction of this number was put out of action by tank destroyers, Known as "anti-tank turrets." The success of these might have been greater but that the crews of many were unnerved by the line of advancing tanks, and joining in the general stampede, scuttled back into their holes.
