THROWN BACK
AXIS FORCES SOUTH-WEST
OF STALINGRAD
SUCCESSFUL RUSSIAN COUNTER-ATTACK.
ENEMY PROGRESS SLOWED IN CAUCASUS.
(British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.55 a.m.) RUGBY, August 13.
The check to the German offensive north-east of Kotelnikovd has now developed into a counter-attack, which, says a Soviet communique, “forced the enemy into the defensive and improved our positions.” Inside the Don bend, the Germans continued an attack with large forces and advanced in one place, probably near Kalach. However, the Russians mainly are holding'their own. German tanks and motorised infantry continue to advance more slowly among the north-western foothills of the Caucasus.
