LACK OF TANKS
COSTING NAZIS LOSSES
FIGHTING IN RUSSIA
LONDON, November 16. , r.Fighting on . many parts of the trqnt in Russia has been on a small scale. The litest German attacks on Stalingrad are once again degenerating into small-scale sporadic thrusts. One of the significant
things about the present attacks
is that little or no mention is being
made of any tank activities, says
the "News Chronicle" correspondent, s
The German infantry have, as a result, been suffering heavy losses and have had very little gains. In the past 24 hours, they have made no progress whatever. / On the Nalchik frpnt German tanks appear to be most active. Here, as many as 40 at a time are going into battle as a spearhead for the German infantry, but the Germans are being halted by the extremely active Soviet defence. ■ i
Ncjrth-east of Tuapse Soviet reconnaissance scouts have been breaking up enemy transport columns behind tt^'German lines.
