RUSSIAN CLAIMS
CONTRIBUTION TO DEFEAT OF ITALY MUSSOLINI’S APPEALS FOR HELP RECALLED. ITALIAN DIVISIONS WIPED OUT AT STALINGRAD. LONDON, September 10. Both the “Izvestia” and “Pravda” of Moscow claim that the Red Army victories brought about Italy’s surrender. The “Izvestia” says that Hitler and Mussolini suffered a hard defeat before Moscow in the winter of 1941 and before Stalingrad in the winter of 1942. Mussolini last July appealed to Hitler for arms, but the Germans were tied up at Orel and Byelgorod and were unable to spare them. The “Pravda” says, that the best Italian divisions were wiped out at Stalingrad. More than 200,000 picked Italians failed to return home. Stalingrad made possible the Allies’ recovery in North Africa, and Italy thus lost her colonial empire. Then, when the Allies landed in Sicily, Germany was I unable to help her partner in crime.
