GREAT NAZI LOSSES
TANKS, PLANES, AND MEN
(Rec. 2 p.m.) RUGBY, October 7.
Extremely fierce fighting is raging in a number of sectors in the central Russian front. According to the "Red Star," the German losses in these attacks, in three sectors alone, number more than 1000 killed, 198 tanks crippled, and 31 planes brought down.
In one sector, General Goldin, after a long march, hurled a Red army infantry unit, supported by tanks and aircraft, against an enemy concentration. The fierceness of the battle grew hourly.
Russians, armed with automatie weapons, broke through one of the Nazi wedges to a post where Soviet infantry, supported by tanks arid artillery, had been resolutely counterattacking.
This attack destroyed 38 enemy tanks and 31 planes.—B.O.W.
