FLIGHT IN PANIC
MADE BY GERMAN YOUTHS ORGANISED HASTILY AS TROOPS. LORRIES & GUNS CAPTURED READY FOR SERVICE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 10.25 a.m.) LONDON. December 28.
The Russians are continuing to push the Germans back on the Kalinin front. The Germans have thrown in fresh units. Detachments hurriedly formed from the personnel of ancillary services of a German division and consisting of youths aged 17 and 18 years appeared in one sector, but under the first blows from the Russians they fled in panic, abandoning their equipment. The roads westwards and southwestwards, along which the Germans are retreating, are littered with arms and machines. The Germans in one village left a whole column of lorries in good condition, with petrol in theii’ tanks. They also abandoned a battery of heavy guns with shells.
