FIGHT TO LAST
kN DEFENCE OF CITV PLEDGED BY WORKERS OF STALINGRAD, MESSAGE TO LENINGRAD COMRADES. LONDON, October 19. After fierce fighting, enemy infantry succeeded in occupying a workers’ settlement in Stalingrad, says today’s Soviet communique. The defenders put up very stubborn resistance, and the enemy losses were heavy in men and tanks. The German gain has been made in the north-west of the city, where the Germans are now concentrating their attack. This follows the loss of a factory area in the same sector several days ago. The defenders of Stalingrad, in a public letter to the defenders of Leningrad, state: — ‘-Alt Stalingrad has risen to defend the beloved city. We have covered the city’s streets with barricades, and we have taken up arms to hold out like the people of Leningrad. We will fight to the very last drop of blood and the last breath.”
