were lost. East of Praga, the industrial suburb
of Warsaw and not far from the capital
itself the Germans attacked from 2
sides. The situation there however
was quickly restored. 32 tanks were
destroyed and the Germans tried again
and last night fighting was still going on
there. In the South the attacks were also
repelled. During the last month German
losses here have been fantastic. The Germans
lost 170000 dead and prisoners, also 2000
tanks and thousands of vehicles.
In the borderland between Estonia and
Latvia the Germans were pressed back
further and the Russians could advance
some 6 miles yesterday. They are now
within 10 miles of the railway from Riga to
Tallinn. Across the Vistula the Russian
bridgehead was extended still further.
For a short period before midnight also
before daybreak and this morning
flying bombs came over the Southern
counties including the London area.
Berlin was again attacked by our
Mosquitoes last night.
