SECOND GERMAN OFFENSIVE ON MURMANSK FRONT HALTED
SPECIAL TO THE “TELEGRAPH"
MOSCOW, SEPT. 24 (UP),—THE SEVEN DAY BATTLE IN THE DIRECTION OF MURMANSK ENDED TO-DAY WITH THE COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF THE SECOND GERMAN OFFENSIVE, ACCORDING TO A DISPATCH TO THE NEWSPAPER “RED STAR." IN ONE SECTOR THE ENEMY DEAD NUMBERED 2,000. THE DISPATCH ADDED, “THE STUBBORN RESISTANCE OF OUR TROOPS AND THEIR crushing_cOUNTER-ATTACKS; THE SEVERE LOSSES AND THE COLD WHICH IS SETTNG IN IN THE NORTH ARE DRIVING THE FASCISTS TO DESPAIR.”
The offensive was launched early in September with picked Gor- man troops who were transforred from Norway, consisting of S.S. bat- talions and several Alpine regiments who were ordered to take the vital ico-free port at any cost.
The Russian counter-attack halted the advance and compelled the Germans to take up defensive positions.
A telephone dispatch from Leningrad reported to-day that the Russians trapped a panzer column which surrendered after a short battle in which one German General was killed, 117 officers and men captured, and 20 damaged and 16 undamaged tanks taken which will now be used by the Red army.
