Leningrad’s Revenge On German Artillery
Received Wednesday, 7.30 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 1. Leningrad has again come into the Russian news with the disclosure that German artillery recently savagely bombarded the city. Retribution fell some nights later, says Reuter’s Moscow correspondent, when Russian bombers unloosed a deluge of high explosives against the German positions. The Russians again bombed the positions next night, since when not a single gun has been fired against Leningrad. Captain Sertorius, speaking on the German radio, said: “The enemy is making great efforts to break through the shortened erman positions northwest c, Taganrog. Fighting ha 3 de veloped on a grim scale. The German Command is Husbanding its forces regardless of consequences.”
