NO SURPRISE
SPRENG BY THE NAZSS IN THE UKRAINE SOVIET CONFIDENCE IN MARSHAL' BUDENNY. GERMAN GENERAL KILLED IN ACTION. LONDON, August 4. The Moscow High Command was not taken by surprise by the new German pincers drive against Kiev. The dual thrust is stated to have been made by strong Panzer units while the Red Army still holds the mass of the German infantry 80 miles west of Kiev round Jitomir. Apparently the Germans, finding the direct approach to Kiev too firmly defended, opened converging lines of advance north and south of the main road. Moscow, however, is confident that Marshal Budenny will cope with the' new columns. Reports from the front state that the Nazi general commanding the Sixteenth German Motorised Division has been killed in action. The locality is not stated. He met his death while resisting a Russian counter attack in which half the Nazi effectives were destroyed. The Moscow radio claimed that a fake convoy arrived at the great Skoda armament works in Czechoslovakia. collected 30,000 rifles, and decamped.
