RAPID DECLINE
IN MORALE OF GERMAN TROOPS REPORTED IN RUSSIAN COMMUNIQUE. ADVANCE WEST OF ROSTOV CONTINUES. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 10,40 a.m.) RUGBY, November 30
A Soviet communique reports that fighting continued during the night on all the fronts. Soviet troops have evacuated Tikhvin, 120 miles east of Leningrad, after several days’ heavy fighting. After giving details of the exploits of Red Army soldiers, the communique adds that as a result of the stubborn resistance of the Red Army and the enemy’s tremendous losses, the physical and moral condition of the German troops is rapidly declining and, as evidence of this, quotes a prisoner's statement that the soldiers of the Tenth Tank Division were promised that if they took a certain village they would be allowed to go home —a promise which was, of course, broken. Other reports from Russia speak of a continuing advance west of Rostov towards Taganrog and of successful resistance in Moscow sectors.
