Nazi Claims

A Moscow dispatch said Konov's| | offensive was expanding so rapid-| [1y that it was impossible to tell

“It is widely believed that only the weather, -an-unusually mild winter, {delayed a general offensive between {East Prussia and the south Poland frontier: Co «The Vistula,” which--usually is {frozen solid at this time of year, inow will support only light equip{ment and horses. | “Everywhere in eastern Poland a thaw turned the countryside into a sea of wind, making the movement fof heavy machines possible only at night when the ground hardened ! slightly.” Striking westward across the Polish -plains for German Silesia at almost a mile-an-hour pace, the [Soviet offensive hurdled the last big. | water . barrier short of the Reich lon a 40-mile front northeast of | Krakow. i + The Red army threatened to engulf the Nazi stronghold in a matter of a few days at most. A triumphant Moscow communi[que announced that the Red army had forced the Nida river in great {strength yesterday. the third day of [the new winter drive. | Russian columns cut the Krakow-

{Warsaw railway line, virtually splitting the entire German front in Poland.

Report 2 New Drives

At the same time, Berlin said the Russians opened two new offensives north and south of Warsaw yesterday, apparently aimed at clearing the northern flank of Marshal Ivan S. Konev’s 1st Ukrainian army advancing on Krakow and Silesia. Crack German reserves were reported pouring into the menaced area in an effort to stem the Soviet onrush. But the Moscow communique said they were being slaughtered by the thousands in a series of pitched battles west of the Nida. More than 13,000 Nazis were killed or-captured in that sector alone. Berlin commentators described the offensive as the greatest Russian assault of the war. They made no effort to minimize its gravity. The Polish offensive ‘completely overshadowed the battles raging in and around Budapest and in southeastern Slovakia. More than 200 city blocks and 2500 prisoners - were captured by the Russians in Budapest yesterday. Moscow said German attempts to relieve the trapped garrison appeared to have been suspended.

Dinez to the northern approaches of Houffalize, desperate German counter-blows below the town drove the vanguard of the 3d” army out of Noville. This is five miles south of Houffalize. & Ice, snow, bitter cold and fog which prevented air support slowed down the concerted drives by the 1st, 3d and British 2d armies which were squeezing the Germans out of the salient. ' Strong German rear ars cov ering Houffalize were reported trying desperately to flee over secongary roads to St. Vith, 18 miles to the northeast: “Marshal Karl von Rundstedt was rallying the remnants of his battered armies there for another stand. \d Front and 8S. H. A. E. F. reports did not make clear the situation

west of Houffalize or whether the|-

new junctions of the armies had cut off any German troops. The best information indicated, however, that the pressure on the side of the salient had squeezed the Germans eastward. Most if not all, of them apparently had with. drawn to or beyond the lateral line through Houffalize. ° Yanks Push Ahead St. Vith itself, the last German stronghold on Belgian soll, was menaced by American 1st army columns fighting slowly down across the northeastern shoulder of the salient from the Malmedy Stavelot area.
