GRIM RESISTANCE

ADMITTED BY GERMAN PAPER SOME DELUSIVE HOPES OF VICTORY. END FAR FROM BEING IN SIGHT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) RUGBY, July 22. The German newspaper "Frankfurter Zeitung,” which has maintained an outspoken attitude throughout the Nazi regime, says: “In some sectors of the front our victories were too hasty. Fortresses were believed to be already conquered, but suddenly resumed resistance, by virtue of underground fortifications not noticed by our soldiers. “Again and again fresh battles must be fought in territory already considered to be dominated by our army. This stubborn resistance is only to be explained by Bolshevik fanaticism or the fear of political commissars. An enormous number of Russian tanks have been destroyed,, and our tanks are still engaged in hard battles. A great part of the Red Army has been annihilated, but it still remains impossible to judge how long it will take before it is beaten. Only one thing is certain, and that is that Germany will fight this war against Russia to an end. We confess that hardships in these battles exceed anything in our history, and we assume that the increased and bitter resistance and power of the Red Army is caused by the knowledge of its leaders that its last reserves are in the fight.”
