Russians Hold Ground as Germans Press Third Assault
The report describes fresh German reserves in a third assault that created a small wedge in Soviet lines before being repelled. Soviet forces killed many attackers and left the field littered with dead, wounded, and wreckage. Red fliers sank three patrol ships and a cutter, damaged another patrol vessel and a transport near the Black Sea approaches. The siege at Sevastopol echoes past endurance, with Germans losing about 50,000 men in attempts to take the Kerch area. A Moscow correspondent notes German air advantage but Russian underground storage may sustain a long defense. In the Kalinin front northwest of Moscow, Soviet units crossed a river and pushed the enemy from two towns as fliers hit rail transports and tanks.
