GERMAN AIR BLITZ ON STALINGRAD
Dauntless Defence
RED ARMY DEEPER IN RZHEV
. LONDON, 'August 28.
[The Russians are continuing to counter-attack the Germans northwest of Stalingrad, but the Germans'south-west of the city have-driven a new wedge in the defences. ‘The Germans have carried out a mass air- raid on the Rotterdam model against residential sections of Stalingrad itself. Hundreds of tons of high explosive was dropped. The Germans claim that they systematically bombed one area after another, and:leaflets were dropped setting out the day and hour on which—-the Germans boast —they will march into Stalingrad. • . A correspondent says that the warriors of Stalingrad, have marched out to the battle through clouds of smoke from the fires in their city. Terrific air battles are still being fought over the front. The Russian offensive against Rzhev and elsewhere on the central front continues, and it is reported this morning that further points have been occupied. Last night a correspondent said that the northern suburbs of Rzhev were in Russian hands, and the Red-Army has cut the vital railway to Viazma. Berlin admits a “shortening” of the general line.
