AEF In Ireland Boosted On the whole, Adolf Hitler ap peared to face an increasingly gloomy outlook not only in the Russian campaign but at Ger many's back door along the Eng lish channel "invasion coast." This was emphasized anew with the disclosure that the big gest AEF contingent of the war tens of thousands of fresh United States troops with their own tanks and artillery had ar rived to bolster earlier forces training in northern Ireland.

This would indicate that Russian sea borne forces were being ferried across the narrow Kerch strait from the Caucasus to strengthen the red armies. Hitler's field headquarters gave no indication of the battle trend around Kharkov, but declared that German troops had repelled new mass attacks and destroyed 447 Russian tanks.
