One Million Germans.

LONDON, Dec. 29-(CP)—A British military snurcl said tonight that Russian capture of the key railroad centre of Kotelnikovski means extermination of what re- mained of the members of Germany's 6th Army around

Stalingrad. The Russian advance in

flicted what British sources

hailed as a “first class defeat” for the harried Germans.

Koielnikovski is a key town

on the Stalingrad-Krasnodar

railroad about 90 miles southwest of Stalingrad.

“Its capture means the

chance the Germans had of along this railway.”

B Eddy Gilmore Assoclalcd Press Staff writer

MOSCOW, Dec. Sfl-fwednssdsy) —(A.P)—Russian troops have cap- tured Kotelnikovski, 90 miles southwest of Stalingrad, in the Onmshlrlg effort to reach Rostov on the sea. of Azov and trap a 1.- 000,000-msn German army stalled in the Caucasus and before Stal- lngrad.

A special Soviet communique is- sued early today announced:-

"Our oops occupied the wwn and railway station of Kotelni- kovskl. Large trophies were cs0- tured. among which were 17 planes and a convoy of tanks."

The regular Tuesday midnight communique also announced tho capture of Tbrgovaya. 57 miles southeast of Kotelnikovski. and about 40 miles north of Elista, pro- vinclal capital in the Kalmyck ‘stopper of the Caucasus.

Grect Goal Achieved

Thus one of the great goals of Rusiau winter strategy had been achieved on the basis of addition- al information hers. The capture of Kotelnikovskl was a further blow to the Nazi hope of rescuing 22 dvlslons which the Russians say are tra between the Don and Volga. R vers north of Kotelnikov- ski. Other Red Army units have been hammering these 300.000 Nazis from all sides for weeks, steadily driving wedges into their hedgehog ositions and virtually severing 1 their supply routes save by alr transport.
