GERMAN FAILURE
CONSIDERED POSSIBLE'
MAGNIFICENT DEFENCE OF STALINGRAD.
“CHANGING WHOLE STORY OF WAR.”
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, September 25. The Moscow correspondent of the “Daily Express” says that the prolonged and magnificent defence of Stalingrad is changing the whole stqry of the war. It would be foolish tc state that Stalingrad can hold on indefinitely. Growing problems of supply and transport are too great to be sure of that, but the possibility of a German failure remains.
Major Zhuraviev, writing in the “Moscow News,” says the Russians are gradually gaining the initiative in the city, and that German air sorties over Stalingrad are now less than half as numerous as they were a fortnight ago. Meanwhile the battles within Stalingrad maintain their ferocious pitch. Small groups of German tanks are roaming the city, attempting to confuse the defenders, but the Russians are accustomed to these sorties, and are skilfully trapping and destroying many of these tanks. The greatest danger is still coming from groups of shock troops who are leaking through the Russian lines.
