broke into Cherson yesterday morning
street fighting started and by sunset
yesterday Cherson itself had been
cleared completely of Germans.
In one week 25000 German dead were
found on the battlefield and the Germans
are being pressed out of the Dnjepr bend.
The Russians are also beyond Krivoy Rog
and Kirovohrad and beyond Uman
toward the river Bug. Another offensive
leads from Vinnytsja and the Russians
are also around the junction of
Poskaerow [?]. The Russians hold the railway
between Poskaerow [?] and Tarnopol.
There is still some Japanese resistance on
Los Negros and on Bougainville the Japanese
try to inflict casualties on the American
ground troops. Air raids have been
carried out on Wake Island and islands
in the Marshalls. The story of sergeant
Jack Denvir was read. Denvir
was in the expeditionary force which
fought in Greece, made prisoner but
escaped to Slovenia where he fought
with the partisans.
