A Berlin radio report on Wednesday night claimed Germany controls most Soviet territory since 1930 but notes German communiques from Buhrer's headquarters admit exaggeration. The report argues the destruction of Bialystok marks no decisive political victory, citing chaos among Russian forces and the broader struggle against Bolshevism in Europe. Between June 22 and July 7 Russians lost 579 tanks, 2390 guns and anti aircraft guns, four armored trains and 4725 planes.
