DEFENSE (Continued from, page one) nary importance. They also possess extraordinary political signif icance. Smolensk was the general headquarters of the German High Command during the first winter of war in the east. Kiev, as the capitol of the Ukraine and the scene of some of the most vital events in Russian history, would be a real prize for its Soviet con querors. The defense of a river such as the Dneiper ought not to be thought of as a struggle between forces occupying the opposite banks. The river is only the strong est point in a series of defensive positions built up in depth. At most points the advance Ger man machine gun nests and mor tar pits will be dug in many miles in front of the river. Perhaps as many as three or even four or ganized lines of resistance will have to be crossed before the river banks can be reached. Between each of these lines the withering cross-fire of machine guns and ar tillery pieces will be laid down. German tactical skill, particularly their clever placing of machine guns, assures an intricately or ganized defense system. Special weapons have been created by German ingenuity to aid their defensive strategy. The Russians report the use of thousands of “iron crabs,” a kind of steel pill box that can be dug into the ground. Tanks with burn ed out engines or broken tracks are now buried up to their turrets in order to provide advanced artil lery support. Land mines are a treacherous and deadly weapon employed in ever increasing num bers. Special mines for tanks, trucks, and even locomotives have been devised. But the most deadly anti-personnel mine is the one known as the “jumping dish.” When stirred this device throws a platter-shaped mine about three feet into the air, where it bursts at waist height hurling tearing shrapnel like a huge horizontal buzz-saw. After four years of war there is every reason to believe that the shock-troopers of the German army have been decimated. Even the Waffen SS, the black-uniform ed security troops used by the Nazis to police the occupied coun tries, have been diluted with for eign elements. All the nationali ties of Europe are said to be rep resented in its ranks, for the Nazis wish to be certain that their guards will fire upon Germans should the homeland rise against them. Devastators Replace Buffalos For Lead In Sports Program Moving up from fourth place the Devastator Squadron replaced the Buffalos as the top team in the Sports Program. The Coronados are second with 30 followed by the Kingfishers with 26. Tied with the Buffalos, at 24 points, in fourth place are the Helldivers. The Mariners and Vin dicators have 18, the Buccaneers 17, Skyrockets 15, and the Cata- linas and Mustangs 12. Out of the running are the Wildcats who have yet to score a victory. The league leaders are unde feated in wrestling, track, and swimming as are the second place Coronados. The margin of dif ference is in soccer where the Devastators have won four and lost one while the Coronados have two wins and three defeats in five starts.
