The Royal Air Force was pound
ing at the Nazi troops as they
moved down through the mountain
valleys and ravines and II was
likely that general action could be
anticipated a. any time.
The British-Greek line runs al
most due east from Phlorina to
Gianitsa. about 30 miles west Of
Salonika. Then II turns sharply
southwark to an anchor in the
region Of Mount Olympus.
In addition to the battle now
opening in the Phlorina area. II
was expected that the Germans
would attempt 10 crack the line
around Gianitsa where II hinges
south. A break-through around
either Phlorina or Gianitsa prob
ably would force the Greeks and
British 20 fall south to a line nun
ming west to east from Yanina TO
Larissa.
The threat OF the German break
through at Monastir was grave.
II the armored columns win a
foothold on the Greek northwest
ern highways, they will be in a
position TO turn the Greco-British
defense system from the rear.

munique revealed that the Ger

through Prilep and Skoplje in
South Serbia made a sharp As

for the vital corner where Greece,
Albania and Jugoslavia meet.
The Raj was attacking the
armorcd column repeatedly.
II strafed tanks and armored
cars stretched out on the mar
row mountain roads from PriI-
ep toward Phlorina and made
low-level bombing and ma
chine-gun assaults upon the
