CLIMAX IN SIGHT
IN STRUGGLE FOR SEBASTOPOL Soviet Defences Thinned But Unbroken FIFTEEN THOUSAND GERMANS KILLED IN LAST TEN DAYS SOME ENEMY PROGRESS ON KHARKOV FRONT 1 LONDON, June 12. Fighting in the Crimea is apparently approaching a climax. The situation is extremely tense in a number of sectors. According to the Moscow radio the Russian defence line has been thinned, but is unbroken. In some sectors the defenders have improved their positions. The German Air Force has suffered great losses. Fifteen thousand Germans have died before Sebastopol in the last three days. The latest Russian reports state that on the Kharkov front some progress has been made by the Germans, with local successes by Soviet cavalry. On the Kalinin front, north-west of Moscow, General Zhukov’s troops have smashed through the German defences in the outskirts of a large town, and the enemy forces are beingdriven back street by street in furious hand-to-hand fighting, Moscow reports. The town is possibly Rjev, which the Russians have been investing for some time.
