Nazis Reveal Grave Flanking Threat From Reds
MOSCOW August 10. The German communique disclosed a grave new Russian flanking threat to East Prussia and Warsaw in the area west of the upper Narew river. It said Soviet attacks west of the Narew were beaten off or checked and noted strong Russian drives west of Bialystok. The Narew flows near Augustow Lomza and joins the Vistula near Warsaw, with possible Russian gains around Augustow and Lomza. The report warned that outflanking moves could trap German forces in East Prussia and threaten Warsaw.
