COURSE OF FIGHTING
AXIS PENETRATION (Rec. 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, Aug. 10. . Official Soviet reports state that the Germans have made determined attacks around Armavir and managed to break through in one sector and the Soviet troops have also engaged in defensive operations in the region of Kropotkin. In (the Don bend, enemy tanks and motorised infantry were repulsed. In this region the Germans are throwing in reinforcements and their tanks are charging along the roads and across fields till everywhere clouds of dust and smoke hang over the steppes. Soviet anti-tank riflemen are challenging them from hide-outs and are still offering stout resistance and holding firm. The Germans' flanking movement up the railway towards Stalingrad has slowed <^own. The German advance into the Caucasus is spreading out towards Maikop, and south-east, and also westward, to the Sea of Azov, where there appears to be a strip of coast which is not yet i occupied. The absence of German'l claims to have captured prisoners may be taken as an indication that the Russians have been able to withdraw their forces in good order. —B.O.'W*
