With their backs, to the Volga, Stalingrad's defenders were reported in Soviet dispatches to be withstanding the heaviest bombing assaults and still commanding hills looking down on the heart of the city.

Soviet accounts indicated that the invaders were being checked on all sides of the strategic city. More- than 2,000 Germans were killed in the Stalingrad zone yesterday, dispatches said, while 4,000 Nazis were killed on the central (Moscow) front as the Russians captured a fortified town in a naval force on the north in the early morning of August 26 from a eonvoy. In the second phase the Japanese struggled possession of a vital air field strip from which Allied planes took off to bomb and strafe the invaders.
