Nazi Confession Of Toughness Of Soviet Resistance

SIGNIFICANT STATEMENTS ARE MADE

BY A BERLIN COMMENTATOR GIVING THE DAILY “ELUCIDATION OF THE GERMAN HIGH COMMAND COMMUNIQUE" ON THE GERMAN RADIO LAST NIGHT.

The commentator said the battle in the East differed from that in the West because in the West either the men or their com- manders realised that their resistance was useless, whereas the Soviet soldiers "created unexpected precedents by both attacking and defending at the same time.”

After alleging that the Russians "allow themselves to be mown down and dle at their posts," not because they have any love for the Bolshevik regime but because they are shot if they attempt retreat, he added:

LOSSES

Enemy shipping losses in the week ended July 21 were in part due to the highly successful low level attack on shipping at Rot- terdam on the 16th and the complete break up of two enemy convoys on the 19th.

In the Rotterdam attack 11 ships varying in tonnage between 10,000 and 2,000, were hit and left smoking.

PERSECUTION OF CATHOLICS IN POLAND

The wide dissemination of the official Catholic report on Nazi persecution of the Catholic Church in Poland was mentioned in the Commons yesterday when the Minister of Information was asked whether such reports did not expose the falsity of Hitler's claims to be "fighting a crusade against Russia."

There are few reserve stocks of any size in the country and we have sent cargoes of fish to Spain from Newfoundland.

The other two big attacks took place off the Hague and the island of Norderney.

In the first off the Hague, the convoy was so strongly guard ed by flakships that they almost, equalled the number of vessels they were guarding.

Four vessels, one of 4,000 tons which blew up, and three of 6,000 tons each of which caught fire, were accounted for.
