When he surged out of his shortened winter lines in Russia last May, his battle front from the Baltic to the Sea of Azov shore line west of Rostov and then to the Black sea coast of the Crimea was perhaps 2.000 miles long. Al nearly as its contours can be mapped today it is more than 3.000 miles from end to end and marked by dangerous sul- ients at. which Soviet troops are hammering.

This writer has seen no square mile estimate of ground Germany possessed in the 1942 campaign. Every toot of it, how-

ever, in Russia and Africa means new requirements for garrison troops 1

and strong patrols to keep vital communications open to the armies at the front.

Add to that the German battle losses of the five months, the urgent need or mastering substantial reinforcements in Egypt and Libya and the certainty that this winter in Russia will require more, not less men. and it becomes convincingly evidently that Hitler’; most urgent need is more cannon fodder.
