Dnieper Battle Seen Forcing German Withdrawal In 1941 Line
Washington October 30 reports suggest an 8 to 1 chance Germans must retreat behind or beyond the 1941 Dnieper line. Observers note German high command employs rear guard actions to avoid decisive battles while saving forces for a counteroffensive.
