There is little or no indication that the Naiis are closer than .50 to 60 miles from Moscow at any point. A special communique of the Nazi high command, dated from Hitler's headquarters on the East Front, detailed tht latest German claims. They were: "Annihilation" of eight Russian armies comprising 80 divisions of an estimated 1,200.000 men; capture of (148,000 prisoners: capture or destruction of 1,197 armored vehicle* and Tt29 guns. The communique reported that Soviet ca.sualties in killed and wounded were "high" but offered no estimate of tha total. Nor did it include any reckoning of German losses. The communique said this destruction was achieved la what the Germans call the "double encirclement" battlea of >'yazma and Bryansk.
