The map requires small elucidation. The Gormans caim the capture of Kalach, at the western end of the canal connecting the Don with Stalingrad on the Volga. But this is probably an excessive claim, since the cable news indicates that a Russian sally across the river at Kletskaya seriously threatens the whole of the attack from the north-west. If the Germans have reached the canal their forces appear to be squeezed into a narrow corridor, under heavy bombardment and difficult of reinforcement. In the south the enemy appears to be making some progress in th e Krasnodar area towards the Black Sea port of Novorossisk.
