were dropped over scattered parts and one person is reported killed. The Russians had a good day in the Bryansk offensive and they are now well under 20 miles from this German base. After capturing Karacev it appears that this is a strong outpost. 100 guns, 40 tanks were captured. The fate of Kharkiv hangs in balance. For 5 days now the Russians report counterattacks. During one day nearly 90 tanks and 60 planes were destroyed. Taormina has been occupied and on the North Coast the Americans are now 17 miles away from Messina. Oil installations on the East Coast of Borneo at Balikpapan were set on fire by the Australians. In the land fighting near Salamana we made some headway. There were reports yesterday about trouble in Norway. All Norway is now under military law.
