that in yesterday's attack on Schweinfurt
our losses had been heavy
but our big loss meant an even
greater loss to the enemy who
had lost 50% of his ball- and roller-
bearer capacity. This afternoon
two fighters were destroyed off the
South West coast by our planes.
Right up to last night Germans were
certain they could hold Zaporizja
but they lost it yesterday morning.
German confidence in Zaporizja
defences was well-founded.
They made 15 counterattacks
a day. The Red Army had to use
great forces too. The Germans say
they have blown the Dnjepr dam.
Russian shock troops have
been clearing Melitopol.
On the middle Dnjepr fierce fighting
to extend the Western bridgeheads
takes place. An American
reporter from Moscow said that
in the rear of Kiev the mainline
has been reached. Saboteurs have
blown up 9 transformer stations
