THIRD BLITZKRIEG TO BREAK RUSSIAN ARMIES

Nazis Attempting Diversion With Big Thrust On Odessa

LONDON, Ang. 4 (Reuter)—The German High Command 15 preparing for a third blitzkrieg in an attempt to break down the terrific rexistance of the Soviet armies.

These preparations account for

the more stabilised line which has been the feature of the eastern campaign for the past week. It is considered that this third push by the Nazis may be the turning point in the war with conditions favouring the Soviets.

One situation which can be foreseen is that of Army being bogged in the Russian winter. This might happen if the

third blitzkrieg which is now be ing planned, proves vulnerable to constant attacks from the Rus- sians who are naturally accustom- ed to the severe Russian winter.
