The agency states that the Soviet catastrophe at Odessa hpa renched tremendous proportions. The Luft- waffe there has sunk already more than thirty ships totalling over 170,- 000 tons. One heavy cruiser and some torpedo boats were destroyed while vainly attempting to protect the transports. These worships were niso heavily hit by German bombs. The Russlang encircled at Odessa are finding no way to cross the Black Sen any more. They are also unable to take away their war materials.

The Germans are now fighting on
a considerably straighter line than some days ago. It runs roughly straight from the Gulf of Finland to Smolensk with an eastward pocket to Novogorod.
