DOUBT CAST
ON SOME ENEMY CLAIMS • ALLEGED CAPTURES OF MEN & MATERIAL. , POSITION WEST OF DNIEPER. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day. 9.20 a.m.) RUGBY. August 20. No confirmation of the German claims, that they have occupied the whole of the South Ukrainian area west Of the Dnieper, has been received in London, but it is pointed out by competent commentators here that these claims have not been denied by the Soviet communiques. Enemy claims regarding captures of men and material are viewed with the gravest mistrust, the opinion being expressed that the scale of the operations and the size of the forces involved would preclude the probability of any accuracy in computation, but even taking the German figures at their face value the numbers claimed are not impressive, considering the magnitude of the battle, and lend colour to the belief that Marshal Budenny has successfully crossed the Dnieper with the greater part of his army intact.
