the Greek British positions in re-
verse.
Raj ACTIVE
The Royal air force was pounding
at the Nazi troops as they moved
down through the mountain val
leys and ravines and it was likely
that general action could be antic-
ipated at any time.
Once in Phlorina the Germans
would be in position to knife down
into Greece, attacking the British
and Greek defense system from be-
hind. The defense line runs in a
roughly southeastern direction from
the northwest corner of Greece,
near Phlorina. to the Gulf of Sal
onika. It was set up chiefly to meet
attack from the east or northeast,
rather than from The west and
northwest.
The speed of the Jugoslav COL
lapse may mean that at any mo-
ment Field Marshal Siegmund Won
List, German commander of the
southeast, can divert the bulk OF
his forces-eStimated at nearly l.
100000 men-against the compar-
atively thin Greco British lines.
The size of the British expedi-
tionary corps in Greece has been
subject to the most varying eSti-
mates. These range from $4,000
men to a wild guess of 100000 men.
Most experts place the number close
to the lower limit, with 100000 as
an absolute maximum. In addition
TO this force there may be 100000
poorly equipped Greek troops. How
ever, probably half of this number
are on the Albanian front where
the German break through at BIZ
toll threatens to cut them off from
the rear and prevent them from re-
joining the main Greco British
force If an order is given for re-
tirement.
