RUSSIAN GUNS
DUEL NAZIS
ACROSS RIVER
LONDON, Feb. 5.—(API
German and Russian guns duel
ed across the Oder today, as
Marshal Zhukov moved with his
First White Russian Army tanks
and infantry to the river, in a
line along the front of 140 miles,
threatening to outflank Berlin
throurh north Germany.
I
Wells, of the south German
command, said that violent Rus
sian attacks are in progress
| against the Oder river for the
fortress of Knuestrln, which is
40 miles east of Berlin.
The latest official Moscow an
nouncements told of the capture
of Barwalde, 38 miles northeast
of Berlin in an 18-mile advance,
which outflanked Custrin on the
north, ond placed the Russian
spearheads within 45 miles of
the Baltic port of Stettin, at
the mouth of the Oder.
Field Marshal Zhukov’s tanks
are thrusting toward Stettin, in
a threat to topple it and circle
Berlin, on the north. They are
trovelling in radio silence, said
Moscow, but it is believed that
they are cutting the enemy
groups and causing great dam
age.
German accounts are far ahead
of the official Moscow announce
ment, and told that the Red
Army penetrations go as far as
Schwedt on the Oder, which is
28 miles from Stettin in the re
gion of Puritz.
The Russian forces are also
posed in a southward flanking
threat by the capture of Zelbin
ger, 13 miles south of Frankfort.
German underground reports
received in London, said that the
Germans are already building
flying bomb ramps 50 miles west
of Berlin, facing the German
capital, to use against the city, if
io falls to the Russians.
Russian dispatches failed to
; bear out the German reports
1 that Russian attempts have al
ready been made to cross the
formidable Oder in the Frank
furt and Kusorin areas, where it
is nearly 1,000 feet wide, but
said widespread mopping up is
going on in numerous pockets
along the river stretching from
the area south of Stettin to the
Russian hinge, midway between
Frankfuro and Breslau, where
the First White Russian and the
First Ukrainian Armies join with
more than 100 villages captured
by the Russians yesterday.
