Churchill then released official
figures regarding casualties to
both sides. In the past week 72
British soldiers were killed and
738 wounded. compared to unof-
ficial hundreds killed on the
Fascist side. The Prime Minister
pointed out that more than thirty
thousand Italian troops had been
captured and that high-ranking
generals and commanders were in
the custody of the British.
As the Prime Minister spoke,
