War News in Brief Germans Face New Breakthroughs
In Russia the German retreat threatens two major Red Army breakthroughs toward the Baltic States in the north and toward Romania in the south. Stalin marks the Red Army’s 26th anniversary by pledging greater production and forces to drive Hitler to catastrophe. Allied raids strike an aircraft factory in south Germany, the day’s heaviest daylight attack from combined British and Italian bases. Reports of a new German attack on the Allied beachhead south of Rome emerge as recon photos show reduced enemy ships and aircraft at Rabaul. In Burma British forces push from Arakan, and U.S. and British leaders foresee the war against Germany possibly ending next year. Churchill says Britain and Russia back a strong independent Poland with western frontier fixes and compensated German territory. Britain, the U.S., and the Soviet Union embargo loot recovered gold transfers.
