Terrific fighting at Kiev was reported by Red Star, official organ of the soviet army, today in a dispatch which admitted that "the Germans, like vicious beasts, are hammering at the city."
(Russia has not yet conceded the fall of Kiev, which the Germans claim to have taken yesterday.)
"Piles of bodies, wrecked tanksand armored cars clutter the approaches to Kiev," Red Star said. "The fascists are throwing in more and more troops."
Battle on Outskirts. Red Star said that an especially bloody battle was raging on the southern boundaries and in the northern suburbs of Kiev\ where popular guards bolstering the red army were reported to be "fighting like lions."
