50,000 Enemy Casualties In Opening jtages‘

Double - flanking movement

Threatens to exterminate troops Stalled at Stalingrad.

(By Henry C. Cassidy, Associated Press Staff Writer) MOSCOW, Nov. 24 — (Tuesday) — (AP) -- Russian troops in their great new winter offensive have smashed across the Don River to a point approximately 100 miles northwest of Stalingrad in a great double-flanking move-

ment that has cost the Germans 50.000

casualties and

threatens to exterminate thousands of other Nazi soldiers stalled near the Volga River to the east, it was announ-

ced today.

IZ-MILE ADVANC E

A special communique-the second in two days-said the town of Chernyshevskaya, well inside the Don River loop, had been taken in a 12-milc continuing advance. This Red Army column apparently was the same that had oc- cupied Serefimovich on the north side of the Don River loop, and was striking southward to link up with other Red Army units now penetrating on the lower side of the

Don River.

This southern Red Army In its efforts to close a great pincers on the Nazi besiegers of Stalingrad also made s 12-mile advance during yesterday. Having occupied Ab- ganerova, 40 miles southwest of Stalingrad, to cut a Nazi railroad supply line, they also took Aksai, e point 10 miles farther south, and other villages.

COST TO GERMANS

To date the Russians said their four- or five-day ob lensive had cost the Germans this toll:- 26,000 dead, including 12,000 iri Monday’: operations

alone.

24,000 prisoners, including 11,000 taken Monday.

Thus a grand total of 50,000 Nazi casualties in a vast winter counter-offensive still in its early stages.

In addition the special communique listed this booty,

taken:-

536 German guns, 2,826 truvsks, 1,200 railway clivs, 2.025 machine guns, 32 planes in working order, 35 tanks in full

ivurking order.

"A large quantity oi’ other wea- pons and lnilitury supplies hrs not yet been counted." the special announcement, said, “We destroyed 70 planes, 157 tanks, and 186 guns."
