1500 yards but later on the Americans counterattacked
regaining a 1000 yards and still fighting
forward. The Germans paid a heavy price
through our terrific artillery. 500 prisoners
were taken and the losses in men killed
are very heavy indeed. Our troops hit back
hard and had the better of the fighting.
Hitler's communique says nothing about
the Russian break through in the Narva
sector. The Russians forced a crossing of the river
and the railway line 10 miles west of
Narva has been cut. Finnish radio has
given comments on the armistice
term which are unfavourable.
The stiffness in the papers is no doubt
intended to back up Finnish
delegation.
