Soviet Drives Cost Germans Guns and Food
Soviet armies in the south and southwest killed about 10,000 Germans and captured or destroyed vast stores of food, clothing and war supplies in five days of savage fighting amid thawing snows. Between March 7 and 12, Nazi losses averaged 2,000 daily from the Ukraine to the Crimea, with only 539 Germans taken prisoner. Soviet booty included more than 2,000 guns, 20,000 shells, 3,000,000 cartridges, 22,500 mines, 4,000 hand grenades, 27 radio stations, and depots for clothing and food. Frontline dispatches said the German 16th Army near Staraya Russa faced a tightening trap, while Zhukov’s forces closed a noose around a Nazi pocket west of Moscow. London reports noted heavy Russian pressure near Staraya Russa and a new push north of Lake Ilmen to relieve Leningrad. The German high command claimed Russian attacks collapsed, with Russian casualties described as extremely high.
