ONSLAUGHT ON STALINGRAD
Enemy Increasingly Hampered by Bad Weather TIMOSHENKO’S TROOPS DRIVING IN FROM NORTH-WEST NO FURTHER GERMAN PROGRESS IN CAUCASUS LONDON, October 22. Tonight’s reports from Moscow state that the German onslaught against citaiingrad has slowed down. Three minor attacks on the factory belt in the northern part of the city have been beaten oil. The enemy forces are now facing the prospect of increasingly bad weather. Mr Paul Winterton, the London “News-Chronicle’s” correspondent in Moscow, states that cold rain, bitter winds, snow and sleet have begun to turn the steppes around Stalingrad into slush.
Marshal Timoshenko’s forces north-west of Stalingrad have driven nearer to the beleagured city. After two days’ fighting they have occupied a height from which Stalingrad can be seen.
In the Caucasus the Germans have made no further progress. On the Black Sea coast the Germans are hampered by bad weather. Although the Germans are keeping up their pressure in the direction of Grozny they have made no further progress in the last 24 hours.
