CHECK AT TULA
SERIOUS FOR GERMANS MAY RANK AS MAJOR DEFEAT. LITTLE ACHIEVED IN NORTH. LONDON, November 16. “The Times” Stockholm correspondent says that if his diagnosis is correct and the drive against Tula fails, this battle must be recorded as a major German defeat; , indeed, as the frustration of the offensive against Moscow for 1941. A decision may be contestable by a further out-flanking movement from the region of Kursk and Orel, but apparently over-strained communications defeat such a purpose, and the long sweeps which would be necessary demand more material than the Germans have’. The correspondent adds that the Germans and Finns in the Murmansk region have achieved practically nothing for four months and are still stuck on the River Liza.
