TAKEN BY THE RUSSIANS IN 24 HOURS OFFENSIVE ACCELERATED. ALL PLANES FOR STALINGRAD SHOT DOWN. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) „ (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, January 28. The Red Army during the past twenty-four hours have taken at least 10,000 prisoners, including more than 1000 from the remnants of the German Sixth Army at Stalingrad, reports the N.B.C.’s Moscow correspondent. The Germans still have a few things up their sleeves and the Russians know it. The “Red Star” has issued a warning to this effect, urging the Red Army to accelerate and expand its offensive ’ and that is exactly what the Red Army is doing now. Reuter’s Moscow representative says the Germans attempted to send supplies by air to the 8000 men still holding out at Stalingrad but not a single plane reached its destination. The crew of one transport plane shot down said they had been switched from Sicily to the Russian front.
