STORY DOUBTED
NAZI ODESSA THRUST
LIMITED PENETRATION
(Rec. noon.) RUGBY, August 12. Competent military circles in Lon-1 don consider that the German claim j that strong- forces are 70 miles from the Black Sea port of Nikolaiev is unlikely to be accurate. It is thought that armoured units may have advanced, but there is no evidence that substantial units are there at all. The position is more likely to be that a few armoured vehicles have broken through. There are indications that the German pressure in the Ukraine is persisting strongly, and there is no sign of any falling-off in this sector. The greatest pressure of the German advance comes from the south-east, from Uman, rather than from the north-west. It is likely that the river Dniester has been crossed- near the corner of Bessarabia. . There is no change in the Smolensk sector or further north in the Leningrad sector. —8.0.W. >
