War Situation Last Night

emphasize that loss, the expanding battle in the Ukraine rolls into its third week Just one month short olf the summer solstice. June 22. That anniversary has more than astronomical meanin for Russia and the world this year. It will be’ also the beginn‘ of the second year of the Russo-German war. Hitler announced his war on Russia at 5.30 a. m., Berlin time, June 22, 1241. . ‘ _ ‘ ‘

Whether Der l-‘uehrer thought it fittln to celebrate the longest day of the year by undertaking his greatest rn iitary adventure. or the tim- ing of his attack was dictated by more practical considerations is of no consequence. What does matter is that he started too late.

Five months later, Nov. 22, the Nazi invasion of Russia reached its highwater mark with the capture of Rostov. Just a week more and the great Gennan retreat had begun at Rostov, a retreat that has been re- versed nowhere in the 12st s]: momthsfxccpt on’ Ker-ch Isthmus.

The Balkan campaign cost Hitler that vital six-wreck time loss in Burs“ ta year ago. The Timosheniro offensive in the Ilkrnine has "lrcadv cost him a two-week time loss this year in exnlnlting and cxnnmlirle ills success on Ferch Isthmus. To what extent if has also savlnecl his rc-
