Sebastopol Sorties Foiled as German Assaults Held
June 23 dispatches report Soviet defense of Sebastopol repelling a German drive to breach the Black Sea fortress. Nazis, with manpower and tanks, penetrated front lines but failed to reach deep into the base defenses amid overall German losses and Soviet resistance. A Soviet summary claims 2,000,000 German and 4,000,000 Soviet casualties, noting Germany cannot mount a major offensive any longer. Separately, Washington sent a $42 billion Army supply bill to the House to fund 4,500,000 troops by July 1, 1943 and bolster lend-lease with $12 billion for war material, bringing total defense outlays near $205 billion in three years. The bill aims for 60,900 planes this year and 125,000 in 1943.
