10,000 MEN DAILY
TOLL PAID BY NAZIS
(Rec. 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 29, The Red Army is punching more holes in Todt's line of massive fortifications on the central front on which the Germans laboured for eight months. "Isvestia" says the Russians already have gouged four holes varying from seven to 20 miles in depth. The Germans' effort to resist on the central and Don fronts is costing them 10.000 men daily, "Red Star" says. The key success of the Russian cen-.j tral front offensive has been a sur-.j prise. The Russians have often pene-v trated first-line defences without op-• position from the Germans. In some, sectors the Nazis unsuccessfully; tried to make a stand. They also failed to regain the positions on the railwaylines between Neval and Velikie Luki and between Rzhev and Vyazma. Reuters Moscow correspondent reports that Red Army troops and tanks are pouring into the breaches made in., the Rzhev sector. Berlin sources say that a third big" offensive is impending against the German line at Voronezh, where Rus-. sian forces are massing.
