Without its Bryansk pivot. the German front in Russia east of the Dliicper is of little value. either defensively or for future offensive oper- ations. It is too long to be held against Russian winter attacks with the forces left to llitler by the campaign in Italy and the throat of Allied trans-channel onslaught.

Only along the west. bank of the Dnieper from the Orsha bend ii

Russian forces already ave driven a dangerously wide and deep salient into the Ger- man front south of Bryansk along the Konoteip-Kiev railway", 1t; spear- head is reported less than ‘i0 miles from Kiev in the Nflhln sr-ctar. The Russians are threatening Chesriigov junction, beyond the lnwcr Desna. and even the Gomel escape gateway beyond it through which Nari forrcs rbeiiricting from Bryaiuli must reach the haven of the Dnieper west n .

Tiler seems small chance that the Nazi retreat in Russia can halt even along the lower Dnieper. Evacuation of the whole Dnlcper Piatear. within the great southern bend of the river. seems certain. To attain?! to hold the whole Dnieper west bank from Oisha. through Kiev, hr:- me-iirilug, Dniepropetrovsk and Zapororhe would extend rather "i!" shorten the front.
