“BIGGEST OFFENSIVE OF ALL TIME”
Disrupting German Armies
LONDON, October 8. Reuter’s Moscow correspondent describes the present offensive as the greatest of all time. The Red Army in the Nevel region, he says, may threaten the Germans north of Lake Ilmen and before Leningrad with a big scale isolation. The drive to the AVhite Russian line has wrecked effective . co-ordination 'betw’een the German northern and southern armies. The establishment of the Russian bridgehead at the confluence of the Pripet and the Dnieper has isolated the Germans more completely than ever. The capture of Kirishi opens a new life-line to Leningrad, where the enemy is left in a rapidly closing sack. It is too early to prediet the outcome of the gigantic battle in the south, but there is clearly mortal danger to the Germans in the Crimea. A triple threat of isolation is being increased along the whole German battlefront with the northern and central armies divided and the third group almost cut off in the Crimea.
