STALINGRAD FAILURE
NAZIS’ SECOND DECISIVE DEFEAT ANOTHER WINTER NIGHTMARE FACED. ENORMOUS SACRIFICES MADE BY’RUSSIA. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK. December 17. “Every day’s news from Russia confirms the belief that the> Nazis suffered their second decisive defeat when they failed to take Stalingrad, penetrate th.e Caucasus and reach the Caspian Sea.” declares the “New York Times” in an editorial. “Hitler is now facing another winter nightmare against more Russian tanks and guns and better planes than a yeai- ago. Russia is Hitler's Verdun in more ways than one. If the defenders had not been willing to make enormous sacrifices the citadel would have fallen.
“The millions of Russia have won this victory against our common enemy, and these' millions must be heard when the peace treaty is made. We hope they are learning that a lasting peace cannot be made on doctrinal or nationalistic terms, but only on terms which perpetuate the personal individual values which are shining so brightly on the Russian battlefields.”
