Unless the Germans have already forced their way well eastward of Vyﬂllﬂfrl. the Kill Us salient, 100 miles south- west of the city, is their near- est river defence system that surrounds Moscow in a great circle, roughly B0 miles in di- nmeter. The winding course of the Volga to the north and east and of the ineaizderinil Oka to the south and southwest, with the many small tributaries of both streams. afford the pat- tern for a powerful inner circle of defences.

Presumably it is along this line that London observers hope the Russians can stem the German tidal wave. It would mean, however, either separa- tion of Russian armies in the Moscow area from those to the south. or Russian evacua- tion of the Donets-Don basin in a race to reach the Volga. There are infimations in fact, that the Russians have already started a wide general retreat on the Kharkov front. south oi’ the Moscow. fighting zone.

The most immediate threat of rave disaster, however, is 11613191‘ on the Moscow or Kharkov fronts, sinister as are the portents on both. On the extreme southern flailk. an un- confirmed report places Naai advance guards already in Ta- ganrog on the sea of Azov and within less than 50 miles of nostov, Berlin claims that Rus- sian resistance on that flank except in the crimes and on the narrow strip of mainland south of the Dnieper bend has collapsed.
