BRITISH REPORT BIG NAZI LOSSES IN RED CAMPAIGN Some Infantry Divisions Shorn Of 50 Per Cent Power, Claim LONDON, Nov. 13.—UP)—British spokesmen presented a new recapi tulation of German manpower losses in Russia today while the Germans again were issuing figures intended to show that despite the demands of Eastern campaign, the Nazi air and sea forces have cut heavily into British plane and ship strength. An authoritative British source, recapitulating German casualties on the whole of the Russian front, esti mated that 16 German armored divis ions and 70 infantry divisions had suffered "appreciable losses” which, in1 the case of some infantry divis ions, had run as high as 50 per cent. Eight armored divisions, he said, had been so badly knocked about that they had reappeared in action only within the last few days after having withdrawn from the front early in September. German military commenators said Britain had lost 2,501 planes during operations from Jan. 1 to Oct. 31 over England, the English Chan nel, Norway and German-occupied regions- German losses in the same preas during that time were placed at 602. British losses were classed as 1,192 fighters and 1,309 bombers. The commentary D 1 e n s t aus Deutschland said German reports of destroying approximately 14,500,000 tons of shipping in little more than two years of the present war rough ly equaled the four-year record for the World war. (The Encyclopedia Britannica lists total World war shipping losses of the Allied powers at nearly 15,000, 000 tons — 12,850,814 tons from "enemy action’’ and 2,102,000 tons from other marine risks). This higher rate of sinkings was attributed by Dienst to Germany’s better base facilities for submarines along the coasts of Norway, France and Low countries.
