Sharp Reverses Hit Germans In Russia, Africa
Allied dispatches report Soviet counteroffensives driving Germans from 75 villages on the Moscow front and renewed Red Army assaults around Maloyaroslavets and Tikhvin while Berlin and Rome hint decisive moves. In North Africa, British forces push toward the gulf of Sirte as Axis troops retreat from Derna toward Bengasi. Voroshilov named commander in the Soviet Far East, a move tied to defense and potential action against Japan. Canada reports heavy casualties at Hongkong with Brigadier Lawson believed killed.
