mounted in italy la the vint blow in abe showdown battle jgaos of the united nations- that was what can sir harold alexander comraandr of the allied forces in italy told his men in an order of the day prior to the op enlng of the drive up the weetem aide ot the italian front h declared that we are going to destroy the german armies in italy nd aald that from oast and wit north and blows are about to fall which will result in the final destruction of the nails however in some quarters the it alian offensive was regarded not so much as a campaign to gain ground but to keep the germans occupied the naxls were known to have been moving crack troops from italy to the french west wall to meet the forthcoming invasion the new ital tan drive was expected to stop this troop movement and perhaps t reverse it every german ngased in italy would mean one jess to de fend tho west wall it was stated that there is nothing in italy tho allies need at this stage capture of large germanheld cities bucii as rome would only burden them with tho responsibility of feed ing the war destitute civilian popul ations though some quarters saw this as important too nevertheless the campaign in it aly in important and tho germans know it the nazis can be expect ed to resist every inch of tbe ground and the battles wilt jbe tierce and per haps prolonged the enemy is dug in in italy and in official quarters tbe offens ive has been described a the first of tho final battles to destroy the germans meanwhile the massive allied aer ial offensive is giving the germans no rest the invasion threat from brit ain still hangs heavily over the beads of the nail just how heavily tbe invasion threat is bearing on tbe nazis 1 shown in the stream of invasion pro paganda with which they have been filling tho air they even went so far as to broadcast a story that field marshal erwln rommel might count er the linpending allied drive with an invasion of britain spearheaded by paratroops the nazis would uko td have tho world believe they are facing tbe al lied invasion threat with confidence but the proinvasion jitters havo ap parently arisen to such n point that not even that propaganda master mind dr joseph goebbelfl can con ceal them any longer the nozloontolled parlu radio summed up the situation with this admission all france has become subject to an epidemic which may ho called invaslonltls and which afflicts even the most sensible and balanced among us it would appear that tho allies are winning tho proinvasion war of nerves tho italian offensive developed into a real battle right from the start intense fighting raged along the 25mllc front from casslno to the tyrrenhlan sea at tho weekend with the germans mounting fierce counter attacks at some sections of the line assault forces
