ed a mighty baltic offensive
aimed at the Latvian capital of
Riga from a broad arc to the

Soviet offensive came as the
Red Army blasted wrecked
and burning Warsaw from the
captured suburb of Praga and
massed to storm across the Vis-
tala river into the Polish capi-
tal.
Harried German forces of
the Baltic area were reported
by Helsinki to have attacked
the Finnish'Island of Suursaari
(Hogland), strategic fortress
commanding the middle
reaches of the Gulf of Finland.
The move brought the former
Axis Allies to the brink of war.
The Finns said nine ships car-
rying the German invaders
were sunk by artillery fire.
‘In the northern sector of
the eastern front, the Soviets
with more than 40 rifle divi-
sions and numerous tank and
combat plane formations,
launched an expected large

"Despite the enemy's super-
ior array of men and materials. I
our troops, supported by the ;
Lnftwaffe, frustrated all So j
riet attempts to break througi :
in hard fighting. Penetrations
were sealed oil by immediate
counter-attacks.”
