beeps for the final bloody scenes about levaatopoi spelling the end of the disastrous Nazi invasion of southern mania, there was something approaching a lull in the Volt red army offensive on the east front in Europe toward the week-end, but it boded no good to the foe. It obviously covered ' , ' for new ' ‘ l ‘ from the east timed to ' " with Iva“ Anglo- ' ’ ' blow: from the west.

The patfcru of two such Bullion attach is already clear. Invasion of the Balkans via. Romania and the Danube Valley south of the Cur- paihians is in progress. A tbree-pronged Bed Army convergence on the Galati gateway to the great DanubI-an plains that hold most of the Nazi natural oil supply is traceable on the maps. North of the mountain bar- rier a Russian break-through vla the Lwow gate into the flat plains of central and western Poland would even more critically affect German military dispositions.

During the week a significant change in Russia air ‘eclinlque to match the impending spring change over by the Red Army from the of- fensive-defenslve to the strictly offensive became apparent. Russian bombers turned to a limited form of strategic attack well behind the en- emy front. They battered at such Romanian communion!‘ . hubs as Constanta, Galatl and others in the south and at Lwow and its vital road and rail connections in southeastern Poland.

Soviet bombers also ranged into Latvia on the Baltic flank of the long eastern front, however, to hammer at two critical rail junctions sup- porting the German front north of the Pripyat lo the Pskiw gateway to Estonia, Coupled with Moscow announcement of a heavy Nazi counter- attnnlr frustrated on the. Nurva Isthmus of Estonia. that Russian air raid points to an impending resumption of the Red Army drive in free the Baltic states of the foe.
