(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL”)
DIPLOMATIC ADVICES RECEIVED BY THE STATE DEPART- MENT IN WASHINGTON INDICATE THAT THE CREAM OF GER- MANY'S MECHANISED SHOCK TROOPS HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT IN THE RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN.
These shock troops, which led the campaigns in France, the Lowlands and the Balkans, are believed to have suffered losses exceeding 200,000 killed and wounded.
American advices say that "thousands of Italian regulars" en route to the Russian front total less than a full division. They are a token of Mussolini's support rather than | effective aid.
In Moscow, the Red High Command says heavy battles are being fought along the en- tire front, with fresh air blows against Ger- | man concentrations and aerodromes.
Heaviest fighting is in the areas facing Moscow and Kiev.
"Between 140 and 150 German 'planes tried a night attack on Moscow. They were dispersed by night fighters and A.A. ' and
only four or five reached the city. There was a small number of vic-
tims."
Berlin claims.
