Red Still Attacks
Along much of the Dnieper river
front, where the Nazis have been
ordered by their master to make a
stand, there is lull in the fighting.
But there arc several Important
Red attacks in progress both to the
Dnieper and in other sectors of the
long line.
One of these is the continuation
of the drive to the Smolensk sector
towards the Baltic state*. This of-
fensive, which I previously stressed
as a great menace to Hitler, is cal-
culated to cut off the German army
in the north, force evacuation of
the Baltic states and play a big
• part in compelling the Germans to
withdraw their entire eastern line
still farther towards the fatherland.
In this connection, reports reaching
Sweden say the Nasis plan to ev-
acuate the Baltic states this month.
Meantime the Russians have ac-
hieved a smashing eucoeea by driv-
ing the last of the Germans from
the Taman Peninsula, gateway .to
the Caucasus just across the Kerch
strait from the Crime*. This paves
the way for on assault on the
Crimea itself, and the German army
there is threatened with being cut
