NOT HUMAN BEINGS
STALIN ON THE NAZIS DECLARATION OF FULL CONFIDENCE. > STATEMENT OF WAR AIMS. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) RUGBY, November ’6.. M. Stalin’s statement in Moscow, on the anniversary of the Soviet revolution, that so far the Germans have lost more than 44 million men killed, wounded and prisoners, has made a great impression in London. The Russian losses were 350,000 killed and 1,258,000 wounded and missing. Equally striking is his confident assurance that the Russian Army whose morale is of the highest—is by its heroic resistance already 'beating the Germans. The enemy, said M. Stalin, “has thrown in his whole strength to capture Moscow and Leningrad before the real winter starts, but has failed. Our valiant partisans are disorganising the enemy’s rear, while our Army is supported by our rear communications in full strength. The Red Army has still to face difficult tasks, but will be able to cope with them. Our co-operation with Great Britain and the support of our cause by the United States is one of the main reasons which will lead to Germany’s defeat. The Nazi regime is a mediaeval system which can only be compared with Tsarist regime. The' Nazis simply want to get rid of everyone who is up against them. An order cf the German High Command says: “You must not have any heart. You must not know any pity. Your task is to kill and clear everything from your path.” If the Nazi invaders want total war, they will get it. It will be our task to destroy every single German who has set foot on our soil. The Nazis are not human beings; they are beasts. It is up to us to strike the final blow against Hitler's imperialism.” Certain unfavourable factors, continued M. Stalin, had compelled the retreat of the Russian Army. One was the absence of a second front in Europe, which considerably lightened the task of the German Army. The other was the great Russian inferiority in numbers of tanks, although in quality they were superior, as were the Russian aircraft and artillery. “Modern war is a war of motors,” ( said M. Stalin. “Within a certain per-’ iod Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union will have three times as many motorised vehicles as Germany. We were promised tanks at the Moscow Conference and the first tanks are already pouring in. Our strength will grow. It is not our aim to occupy any alien country. Our purpose is to, liberate our own country and to come to the . assistance of the oppressed Slavonic nations. After freeing them from Hitler, we will leave them to create their own forms of life, without meddling in their affairs. The country must work to make more tanks, more planes, more shells, and more guns for the Red Army. There must be more
wheat coming from our farmers, until the destruction of the Nazis is. assured. We are able to fulfil this task and we are going to accomplish it. Our cause is just. Victory will be ours.” MINEFIELDS BATTLE IN GULF OF FINLAND. (Received This Day, 9.20 a.m.) LONDON, November 6. A Stockholm message states that Leningrad is experiencing 27 degrees of frost. The Russian Baltic fleet has not ceased its attempts to break through the Nazi minefields in the Gulf of Finland. Fifty mine-sweepers are operating. Some of these have been mined and others sunk by Finnish batteries. It is believed that ten warships havi crossed the minefields. SOME GERMAN CLAIMS (Received This Day, 9.20 a.m.) LONDON, November 6. A Berlin communique says: “Pursuit of the enemy in the Crimea continues. German and Rumanian troops, in the Yaila Mountains, have overcome separated enemy forces and are advancing on a broad front between Yalta and Theodosia, on'the Black Sea Coast. Enemy resistance has been broken in the mountains eastwards of Sebastopol. The Luftwaffe claims to have sunk three troopships and damaged four fairly large merchantmen in the waters around the Crimea, off the north coast of the Black Sea. “Enemy attempts to break out of Leningrad have been repulsed. The Luftwaffe last night raided Gorki, damaging munition factories. It also raided Moscow and Leningrad.” NAZI BATTLESHIP BOMBED BY THE RUSSIANS. LONDON, November 5. The Stockholm correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” reports that the Russians, in their air raid on Danzig on November 3, dropped very heavy bombs on a German submarine training school and wharves. They also bombed the battleship Tirpitz, sistership of the Bismarck, which arrived from Kiel last week.
