THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE VOL. LIX., NO. 9048 “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY, MAY, 30. 1942 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS AERIAL BATTLES R GING SOUTH FRONT Severe Fighting Keeps Up On Soviet Front NAZIS AGAIN CLAIM GREAT KHARKOV WIN Hitler's HeaTquariers Re- | peat Assertion of | Vidctory (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) | For the second day, Hitler’s Fieldi Headquarters today boasted that| the great battle of Kharkov is over, | ending in a “proud victory and an- nihilation” for the Axis. | But at the same time, Soviet dis- | patches reported that the Red Ar- mies are lashing out savagely gaainst fresh German attacks. The Nazi claim is still utterly lacking confirmation from any oth- er sources. The bulletin from Soviet head- quarters declared that the Rus- sians have again beaten off Ger-| man tank and infantry assaults| at Izym Barvenkova salient, 80/ miles below Kharkov, where the heaviest fighting has raged for the past 11 days, with “bloody losses | to the enemy great everywhere.” Hitler's command asserted he claim that Russian prisoners taken had risen to 240,124 and that nine Red tanks have been captured or| destroyed. The Nazi communique cluding 20 infantry divisions and seven cavalry divisions and 14 tank ' brgades have been “annihilated.” The Germans also assert that «annihilation of the encircled en- emy forces” on the Central “front is proceeding after the Russians attacked. .
