Reds Hold After Nazis Pushed Back
Moscow August 23 Bundny LINS After pushing the Germans back more than a mile on the northwestern approaches to Stalingrad Soviet troops hold their ground amid renewed Nazi onslaughts. The Russian communique said the offensive northwest of Moscow crossed a strategic river, likely the upper Volga, in the Kalinin sector and continued to advance, threatening the northern German flank near Rzhev. Leningrad defenders pressed a drive to break the siege, while German assaults backed by dive bombers resumed near Stalingrad as Soviet forces repelled attacks and tightened positions around a Nazi salient northeast of Hotelikovo. In the Caucasus, German efforts to seize Grozny oil fields faltered, and near Novorossiysk Soviet defense repulsed two major assaults along the Black Sea coast.
