STUBBORNLY MET
THE GERMAN ONSLAUGHT ■HARD FIGHTING ALONG ENTIRE FRONT. SAVE IN THE LENINGRAD ZONE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.40 a.m.) RUGBY, October 6. A Soviet communique, issued at midday, states that during the night Russian, troops were engaged
along the entire front and informa-
tion reaching London indicates that along the whole line the German offensive is being very stubbornly fought.
Except in the Leningrad area the German attack is being very heavily pressed along the entire length of front, especially .in the central sector. Operations here are directed towards Moscow, from both north and south. It is probably these attacks which Hitler referred to when he spoke of great operations which had started in the last 48 hours.
Informed quarters in London state that it appears that an especially strong drive is being made in a northerly direction, from Roslavl and, while emphasising the stubbornness of the Soviet armies’ resistance, observe that the German army is making some progress along the whole line.
