STATE OF ARMIES
ENEMY MICH SHAKEN BUT IN MAIN NOT YET DISORGANISED. RUSSIANS MUCH STRONGER THAN LAST YEAR. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, February 10. The “Manchester Guardian's” Stockholm correspondent reports that the x/staVe of the German forces on the 'southern front is badly shaken, but in the main they are not disorganised and are still capable of fighting so long as they do not irrevocably lose confidence in their generals and the supreme command. Not till they have taken that first sound beating by the Red Army, when the winter is past and they are no longer able to complain that the enemy is favoured by natural elements, can the* final defeat be considered in sight. These southern armies are utterly incapable of recovering for any real summer offensive resembling that of 1942. The Germans in Russia are a much less formidable military force than that of last summer, whereas the victorious Red Army faces the spring and summer more experienced, more efficient, numerically larger, and more confident.
