withdraw as one of our correspondents said. We are taking hundreds of prisoners. During the last few days 11 enemy planes were destroyed against a loss of three of ours. This reported from General Tito that in the NE corner of Yugoslavia fighting takes place between the coast and Zengg and also at Susak. Our planes last night also went out sea mining without loss. Marauders escorted by fighters kept up the attacks on military objectives in N France shortly after breakfast this morning. The Russians kept up their pressure between Lake Ilmen and Leningrad but their most striking attack took place deep into the Pripet Marshes where they have now advanced 50 miles beyond Mazyr. West of Sarny the Red Army is now 60 miles inside the 1939 Polish border. In the SW Pacific we sunk one thousand tons freighter loaded with fuel, 4 small ships, one patrol vessel and barges beyond damaging others. A report was given by Richard Dimbleby who said that British transport by road, rail and water had never been so busy before.
