LONDON, February 21.
.The frustration of Hitler's proposed spring offensive, resulting in the complete crushing of the enemy in 1942, if forecast by the "Red Star."
"Enemy talk of a spring offensive i» premature," it says. "The winter campaign is at its summit. Over a dozen German divisions will be buried in the snow, and we will advance far westward before the spring. "German power and technique are now weaker than last summer. The Russian army and industry are more powerful. British and Russian resources in man-power are incomparably greater than those of Germany and her allies, and British and American aid to the Soviet is growing ceaselessly. Doubtless, also, the military efforts of our Allies will grow, aiming at the speediest rout of the enemy."
"The Times'" Moscow correspondent says that recent prisoners on the Leningrad front included Dutch soldiers, who declared that they were originally taken to Germany as factory workers and then forcibly mobilised.
