Reds Haze Nazis Into Baltic Sack
The Russian offensive near Jelgava, 25 miles southwest of Riga, drives back German counterattacks with heavy use of tanks and self propelled guns. Berlin says Russians near Riga within 14 miles as they crush Nazi defenses and prepare for the eastern front assault. A Soviet broadcast urges German troops in Estonia and Latvia to surrender or join anti Nazi forces. Separate reports note Warsaw bridgehead activity and gains at Transylvania. A WOW meeting is called for tomorrow night at 8 in the WOW Hall.
