TRAPPED GERMAN FORCES
SITUATION DETERIORATING (Rec. 1.50 a.m.) LONDON, Feb, 9. The Moscow newspaper Red Star says: “The situation of the Germans trapped in the Kanev area is deteriorating rapidly. The Germans cannot get any substantial help from their transport planes because of the intensity of the Russian anti-aircraft fire and heavy rain, which washed out the few landing fields remaining in their hands. Much of the ammunition dropped by parachute falls into Russian hands.”
Continuing German retreats in the lower Dnieper are reported by the German Overseas News Agency, quoting a High Command spokesman. “ German troop movements, aimed at shortening and improving our front in the lower Dnieper region, are still progressing,” says the spokesman.
