The Columbia Broad casting System’s listening station . recorded the broadcast. REDS PENETRATE GERMANS* LINES (Continued from Page One) stead of the Germans’ only escape port, Pillau, and surrounding wa ters were a graveyard of German shipping. , The Soviet communique announc ed that American-built Soviet tor pedo planes and bombers of the Baltic fleet air arm sank one de stroyer, nine patrol warships, two trawlers, a 10,000 ton tanker and 18 transports totalling 92,000 tons on Thursday and Friday. German ship losses for the month in the Pillau area run close to 200,000 tons, it was estimated. The fighting for Berlin is still in the preparatory stage, Von Hammer said, but “it can be safe ly assumed that the Soviet com mand, if only in view of American competition on the Elbe,” will shortly give the signal for a gen eral offensive against Berlin. He said the present attack front ex tended from Kuestrln to the Frank furt area. The attacks, each reported made in the strength of a regiment (8, 000 to 5,000 men) with strong tank and plane support, presumably were carried out by Marshal Gre gory K. Zhukov’s powerful First White Russian Army which has been massing on the Oder for weeks. Earlier German broadcasts said the Soviets were clearing assault lanes through German minefields on a 60-mile front in the opening phase of a large-scale offensive against Berlin. While the Soviet command re mained tight-lipped as it does in the first phases of any operation, the Germans said the Russians were striking forward around Forst, 52 miles southeast of Ber lin. At the same time, Moscow dis patches said, other Soviet forces have driven to the approaches of Linz in a break-out across Austria covering two-thirds of the way to Bavaria and possibly putting Mar shal Feodor I. Tolbukhin’s Third Ukrainian Army spearheads within 75 miles of Adglf Hitler’s last sanc tuary at Berchtesgaden. In a parallel advance farther south Tolbukhin's forces were driv ing across northern Yugoslav for the Italian frontier. The entire German southern front incorporat ing the main defenses of the wide ly discussed ‘‘natual redoubt" ap peared to have come unstrung with the fall of Vienna. A German communique report ed that the Soviets also were at tacking powerfully in the Muerz zuschlag sector 58 miles southwest of Vienna and 38 miles north of Graz in a. mounting drive toward the latter industrial center. Far to the north, the last Ger man pockets along the eastern Baltic also were tottering under Soviet blow, a Berlin broadcast revealed in reporting deep breach es in the Wehrmacht’s lines east of Danzig and west of Koenigsberg on the Samland peninsula. Moscow dispatches "reported meanwhile that the Red Army had found Vienna relatively little damaged thanks to the speed with which the city was enveloped and mopped up. Austrian socialists, communists and members of oth er parties which had been sup pressed under Nazi rule poured out !rom their underground quarter* ind surrendered arms to the Rus sians. 1 '"T ROOSEVELT Memorial Service Si.
