A badly mauled German army oi perhaps 1,000,000 iaced a debacle in southern Russia. Judging irom Moscow‘: disclosures and the ad- missions oi danger emanating from Berlin broadcasts.

A midnight unnlementarv com- munique broadcast irom Moscow said one Soviet army crossed the Dnieper near Kaidaki, l0 miles south oi Dnepropetrovsk. while n second moved on the city irom the wast. They smashed through elaborsio concrete boxes and blockhouses to take the twin cities in the upper corner oi the loop by storm, and captured "enorm us! quantities" oi war material the enrmy had been accumulating ior
