A NEW STAGE
RED ARMY'S OFFENSIVE
LONDON, February 14. "With the capture of Rostov and Voroshilovgrad the Red Army's victorious offensive has reached a new stage," says Moscow radio. "Mighty successes have been achieved, and further successes lie ahead. With their recapture collapses the lie of Hitler and Goebbels that the sacrifice of the 330,000 soldiers at Stalingrad was militarily valuable because it checked the Red Army's rapid advance westward, giving the1 German High Command time to build up a new defence line.
"This prattling has been exploded. The Red Army already stands far to the west of Rostov and Voroshilovgrad, and is irresistibly continuing the victorious march westward. Large portions of the Germans have a choice similar to that of the Sixth, Army— surrender or destruction.
"These victories have again demonstrated the superiority of Russian strategy and are another nail in Hitler's" coffin."
