Zakharov struck from the Narew River in the south and the First Baltic Army group of Armenian General Ivan K. Bagramian pushed in from the north near Tilsit.

Latest poke came last week from Moscow's Pravda and the pen of Bulgar Georgi Dimitroff, onetime defendant at Naziism's Reichstag fire trial and secretary of the late unlamented Communist International (see p. 20).
