FROZEN TO DEATH
' GERMANS AT MOJAISK THOUSAND BODIES FOUND BY RUSSIANS. NAZI RETREAT TO SMOLENSK PREDICTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, January 22. Military experts in Sweden describe Mojaisk as “the Waterloo of the Russian war,’’ says the “Daily Telegraph’s” Stockholm correspondent. The retreating Germans are now engaged in a race with the pursuing Russians for Viazma. The Russians found a thousand German defenders of Mojaisk frozen to death at their posts. They were clad in ordinary service uniforms and greatcoats, over which were pulled white shirts for camouflage. Independent military commentators in Stockholm believe the Germans will have to retreat to Smolensk before they can hope to stabilise their line.
