Nazis Claim Yalta Taken

BERLIN--The High Command today reported the capture of Yalta on the Crimean coast and other Nazi sources said German troops barely 30 miles from Moscow had penetrated and rolled up a Russian defense sector, capturing 80 stoutly defended bunkers.

Military dispatches said that in one sector of the Southern front German soldiers stormed and occupied an "important" but unidentified town, wiping out the opposing Soviet army corps "to the last man."

A corps is usually three divisions--45,000 men.
