About 50 enemy aircraft mostly engaged in sea-mining and anti-shipping 
                    operations off East Coast.              
 
      Little doubt Germans obtained foothold several islands of Oesel. 
      German's claim to one hundred and fifty thousand prisoners in 
      Kiev area may well be true but encircled Russian troops east 
      of city still resisting vigorously. Germans have cut rail and 
      road communications between Dniepropetrovsk and split Crimea.
