Premier Josef Stalin announced the capture of Taganrog, ...southern anchor of the 1500- mile Russian front, today in a special order of the day. The Germans earlier today admitted evacuation of the city.
                                                               Follows Fierce Battle
Stalin said the capture was the result of a fierce engagement in -which the Russians, routed the Germans. The Germans said the town was evacuated after, they had destroyed the town and harbor installations.
Capture of the southern flank of the Russian front indicated the Nazis' entire southern front positions were crumbling. Stalin, whose, order of the day was broadcast by the Moscow radio and recorded by the Associated Press, said the new victory was achieved as a result of a bold maneuver by Soviet cavalry and mechanized formations which broke through to the rear of the enemy troops.
