RUSSIANS MASS FOR LATVIA KILL

400,000" Nazis Face Battle Of Annihilation in The North.

LONDON, Nov. 21 (U. P).~-Rus-sian troops, tanks and ‘dive-bomb-ers were reported swarming in for a battle of annihilation against

some 400,000 Germans pinned against the Baltic coast in western Latvia today. *

Other Soviet forces to the south rolled up the Nazi flank northeast of Budapest, partially isolating two of the Hungarian capital's main outposts, The German Transocean News Agency alse reported a new. Soviet offensive in Slovakia southeast of the border town of Ungvar, 160 miles northeast of Budapest, Jittery German broadcasts said the Russian armies of the north went over to the attack in western Latvia yesterday in the first of the great winter offensives that are expected to set the entire 1500-mile eastern front ablaze in the coming weeks,

New Push Not Confirmed

The new offensive, which was not immediately confirmed in Moscow's early morning communique, ap parently was aimed at wiping out 30 German divisions hemmed into a 6000-square mile pocket southeast of the Baltic port of Liepaja—the last Russiansclaimed territory still in Nazi hands. Striking behind a blistering aerial attack, the Soviet commanders won a number of “penetrations” after a _ bloody, all-day battle, Berlin said. The Germans had been cut off from their main armies in East Prussia since Oct. 10, when Russian forges speared through to the Baltic between Liepaja and Memel Berlin said the new drive wag intended to clear the Soviet flank for a drive into the Prussian province.

Wheeling Into Position

At the same time, the Nazis re. ported ihat tens of thousands of veteran Russian winter fighters were wheeling into position on the eastern, and southern borders of Hast Prussia and along the Vistula river south of Warsaw, Polish underground sourées said the Germans were evacuating their sick and wounded from Warsaw and mining and sacking the city] fearing another massive Red army assault on the capital was imminent,
