NAZI SUMMER AIMS
(Rec. noon.) RUGBY, Sept. 27. The Germans have at least a million men fighting in and near Stalingrad, as well as several thousand tanks and aircraft, according to Mr. Alexandrov, the Soviet propaganda chief. With this concentration the Germans planned to establish a front from Stalingrad to the Caspian Sea along the Volga, after which they would launch a new offensive against Moscow and then against Britain. With the Black Sea ports of Tuapse, Sochi, and Poti still in Soviet hands, Mr. Alexandrov asserts, the Germans have failed to achieve their summer aims on the southern front. Enumerating conditions for ultimate victory over the German army, Mr. Alexandrov says: "The time is not far distant when our allies will bring into action their armies against the common enemy."- The growing activity of guerrillas is also cited as a factor which will bring victory to the Red Army.
