Meeting in the Center. Along the Black Sea flank of the funnel raced General Fedor Tolbukhin's Third Ukrainian Army. A huge breach opened in the Nazi lines. A column sickled westward into the funnel's center, joined troops of Malinovsky's army. Kishinev, pogrom-haunted seat of Bessarabia, was stormed. Below the city the Russians closed a noose around 60,000 Germans. Then the Third Ukrainian sped down the coast. At week's end it stood deep within the sprawling, muddy Danube Delta, held the old Turkish fortress town of Ismail, swept into Galati, eastern...
...months the three men had been discussing endlessly in the big room at Lancaster House in London. U.S. Ambassador John Winant, Russian Ambassador Fedor Gusev and Sir William Strang, the three members of the European Advisory Commission, had held scores of meetings, examined hundreds of proposals, dictated thousands of words of notes, memoranda, dispatches. But to the eagerly watching world the three men seemed no nearer than ever to accomplishing their task-the drawing up of surrender terms for defeated Germany. London's well-informed Economist suspected that the Allies had failed to agree on a joint policy...

The commissioners: Lincolnesque U.S. Ambassador John Gilbert Winant; cautious, deadpan Russian Ambassador Fedor Gusev; the British Foreign Office's lanky, tireless Sir William Strang...
Melitopol. Two weeks ago another force, under rotund and brilliant Colonel General Fedor Tolbukhin, increased pressure on Melitopol. Himself a veteran of Stalingrad, Tolbukhin had under him many a Stalingrad veteran-tough and fire-tested. To these men, fate seemed kind, for in Melitopol there were Germans they hated most: units of the Sixth Army, destroyed at Stalingrad and now resurrected with new blood; the Seventeenth Army, responsible for atrocities in the Caucasus...
...there was many a sign that Malinovsky's fast-moving army might yet swerve south to help Colonel General Fedor Tolbukhin seal the narrow Crimean bottleneck. If these two able generals succeeded, the German forces in the Crimea and Kuban-perhaps as many as 300,000 men- would find themselves trapped within a huge nutcracker, one jaw pressing from the Ukraine, the other from the Caucasus. Russia's Black Sea Fleet, based on recaptured Novorossiisk, would add to the Wehrmacht's woes...
