city of Stalingrad and threatening to isolate approximately
300,000 Axis troops.
Moscow estimated the Nazis suffered some 160,000 men
killed and captured in the week's fighting and gave no
approximation of the number of Germans wounded and
possibly freezing on the wintry steppes.
While it was not immediately clear from which direction
some of the towns west of Stalingrad had been captured,
three main series of movements were apparent. The first
from the northern bend of the Don River elbow cut down
to Chernyshevskaya, 100 miles west of Stalingrad. The
second action was in the region directly northwest of StalinAgheila
which has natural defense positions. On one side
are great salt marshes while on the other are sand dunes.
Before moving into Agedabia, the southern arm of the
8th Army found the enemy had deserted Gialo Oasis, 200
miles south of Bengasi, and took it over.
Allied aircraft continued their operations from Libya
against Axis shipping and enemy positions at Crete and
Sicily and even ranged far west to attack Axis positions in
Tunisia.* ,$
JEEPS IN RUSSIA
Soldier's favorite the world over, the American-made
jeep is sure to be found wherever there is action.
These are taking Soviet anti-tank units to the front.
sovfori 'Clearer last week than ever before in this war, was the
interlocking action of the far-flung Allied war machine.
Stalingrad was the king-pin of the Allied offensive in
North Africa. Russian tenacity which tied up the Germans
for three months before Stalingrad, bought the
time for the American and British victory on the shores of
the Mediterranean. The successes in Libya, Algeria and
Morocco gained for us the cooperation of French West
Africa and Vichy's possessions in the Caribbean. Finally,
the successes in North Africa drew off sufficient Nazi force
in South Russia for the Soviets to launch their manypronged
drive cutting into the Nazi holds west of Stalingrad
and north of the Caucasus Range.
Clearer, too, was the picture in the Far East. Our
materiel requirements to insure the North African campaign
now made plain why the United Nations could not
supply the China front with all the planes and guns we
would wish thrown against the Japanese there.
Finally, in the Southwest Pacific, our carefully planned
and executed campaign in New Guinea was protected by
oour spectacular naval successes in the Solomons. This
success in the Guadalcanal area, in turn, was promoted by
the long-range bombing and reconnaissance operations
from Australia, New Guinea, New Caledonia and the New
Hebrides.
After three years of war the initiative was ours. The
fight for Tunisia and Libya promised still to be severe,
but the Axis action in these areas began to have the aspect
of a giant rear-guard operation. It was Hitler's turn to
worry where the United Nations would strike next.flWKT AFRIfi9 Acting under command of
Admiral Darlan who is cooperating
with Allied forces in North Africa, the
French territory of t est Africa, including the great naval
base of Dakar, swung to the side of the United Nations.
Possession of Dakar, only 1620 miles from Brazil, means
control of the South Atlantic sea lanes. Thus without bloodshed
the United Nations gained another 1,800,000 square
miles of territory and a population of some 15,000,000.

The third came up from south of Stalingrad operating
in the area of the Stalingrad-Novorossiisk railway. Parts
of this drive apparently extended some 70 miles west of
Stalingrad to Surovikino, leaving a gap of only about 30
miles between it and the northern arm at Chernyshevskaya,
through which the Germans might retreat from before
Stalingrad.
While the action west of Stalingrad progressed at a rate
which might isolate the Caucasus front, minor action continued

north of Tuapse on the Black Sea coast.bombers were protected by twin-engined Lockheed Lightning
fighters flying over them at high altitudes. It was the
first reported action for the fighters in North Africa.
On the other side of the Axis positions in Tunisia Allied
aircraft continuously harassed the enemy from the Island
of Malta. Ship and airplane across the open Mediterranean
from Italy were the Axis' sole means of supplying their
forces in French Tunisia and aircraft from Malta had these
under constant attack.TUNISIA . British and American forces were
closing in an arc around the southern
side of the Axis-held bases at Bizerte and Tunis while
another column was reported advancing toward the coastal
city of Gabes.
Aside from minor skirmishes with scouting German and
Italian units there were no reports of land action. In the
air, however, American Flying Fortresses made repeated
raids on Axis airports at Tunis and Bizerte in which our
