PATH OF GERMANS

LITTERED WITH THEIR DEAD AND WITH TWISTED HEAPS OF METAL. VON BOCK THROWING IN FRESH FORCES. (Received This Day, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, August 3. Marshal von Bock has again thrown in fresh forces in the Don Battle, says a Moscow dispatch. The Russians are furiously resisting new onslaughts by tanks and infantry which are crowding to the river like ants. The Germans path is littered with smashed and twisted heaps of metal and the mangled bodies of men. After heavy aerial and artillery punishment, the Germans have changed their tactics, and are now attempting to get troops across the Don in small numbers and in numerous places. Russian bombs and guns are daily wrecking pontoons and sinking boats. Many enemy attempts to cross at Zymlyanskaya were frustrated yesterday and during the moonlit night. The “Pravda” says: “The situation in

the south is more serious and complicated. The danger threatening our country is more acute. Th ( e Germans are throwing in all their reserves. They are sweeping Germany clean and squeezing everything from the occupied countries, even at the risk of denuding the Atlantic coastline. We must bleed the German divisions white and must fight for every sector to the last drop of blood.” A Russian communique states: “While the Luftwaffe heavily bombed cur positions in the Kletskaya area, the Germans launched tank and infantry attacks in several sectors, but we threw the enemy back to his initial positions We continued severe defensive battles in the Kuschovsk and Salsk afieas.”
