SOUTHERN SECTORS
OUTLINE OF POSITION
Hec. 10 aan. RUGBY, September 18L
A Russian advance with Rumanian 1 support ib Transylvania reached- a long stretch of the Hungarian frontier established by the Vienna Award of 1940. This is in central Transylvania, between Sighisoara and Cluj. Further east, the enemy has been expelled from the tip of the territory allotted to Hungary north of Brasov. There is now a double Russian threat, Irom central Transylvania snd from Bukovina, against the enemy in northern Transylvania, but the formidable barrier of the Carpathians assists the defence in this region on the east. There remains a large area to the west which, has always, been Rumanian but into which the ilussians have not yet advanced. Their, furthest occupation solar announced is from Turda (south of Cluj). through Deva, 70 miles southwest of Cluj, to the Danube at Turnu. Severin. Beyond the Danube, the Yugoslavs appear to control a large extent of country, stretching far towards Belgrade and Nish. The Germans hold a line in the Yugoslav-Bul-garian frontier area, north-west of Sofia.—B.O.W.
