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.
