STILL NO MOVE BY NAZIS
Rec. 12.30 p.m. LONDON, June 24. With the drawing to a close of the week in which experts thought that the Germans must get started if they I mean business in Russia in 1943, there are still no signs that the Germans are risking getting their troops involved in a full-scale engagement. The only land movement of any significance is a flare-up of fighting around Mtsensk and Sevsk, northwards and southwards of the Orel bulge. Berlin radio tonight, in its admission that, the Red Army south of Velikie Luki had broken into the main German defence lines, said: "The enemy was able to force a break-through, but a counter-attack sealed off the breach." I The Red Army has been filling in ■ the three months' lull by concentrating'! on a new type of defence to hold any attempted German break-through. Reuters Moscow correspondent reports that the Russians have devised special tank traps intended to cripple the Germans' much-vaunted new Tiger type.
