CLAIMS IN MOSCOW.
RUSSIA'S PART IN VICTORY
LONDON, September 10,
The Moscow newspapers "Isvestia" and "Pravda" claim that the Red Army's victories brought about Italy's surrender.
"Isvestia" says that Hitler and Mussolini suffered a hard defeat before Moscow in the winter of 1941 and before Stalingrad in the winter of 1942. Mussolini appealed to Hitler for arms last July, but the Germans were tied up at Orel and Byelgorod and were unable to spare them. "Pravda" says that the best Italian divisions were wiped out at Stalingrad. More than 200,000 picked Italians failed to return home. Stalingrad made possible the Allied recovery in North Africa, and Italy thus lost her colonial empire. Then, when the Allies landed in Sicily, Germany was unable to help her partner in crime.
