tanks came to meet our tanks, which out fought them but were inferior in numbers. While the tanks bat tied in the passes, German planes dive-bombed and lr1achine-gunned necessarily, employing a new criss- cross pattern. Meanwhile the Aus- trian Alpineers scaled the n1ourl- tain peaks"
 A British tank officer: We have been fighting six days and nights to hold these passes, insurirlg the withdrawal of our troops from the Jugoslav frontier area Our regiment has had losses but I am so tired I can't give 0 clear account of just how we have carried out our job right now. Our main job, of course, is to cover gap in the left flank of the British forces"
 Worst Tank Fight
 A member of another tank unit: "rhe worst tank fight was at Gre vena where we went in to help the Greeks, using light cruiser tanks One of our squardrons fought six hours without Q break. We faced lanes of enemy tanks coming along the roads, which were really just car tracks. l don't know what the odds were but they were greatly against us. The enemy also inevit- ably used dive bombers and fighters and in between the tanks, the enemy would shoot out in armored motor cycle units SO that we would have to face every kind of warfare the mind of man could imagine. We shot our way out without losing single tank, and many enemy tanks were smashed by our fire"
 An Aussie soldier: We bowl 'em down like ninepins, but still they come" - a phrase heard scores oi times.
 An intelligence officer who had questioned some of the German prisoners I saw passing to the rear in trucks: They are young and arrogant. Many of them are only 19. They were recruited from the Hitler Youth Organizations. One of them had been in Paris. He broke down, incidentally, and told us everything he knew"
 Nazls Strike In Waves
 Instead of using their dive bonnb- CTS to do the work of artillery, as they did in France and the low countries, the German flyers here are spreading out in waves, In what are called Armada" tactics. The bombers range over the Allied night and day in mass formations while the yellow-nosed Messerschmitt fighters fly 50 feet in one direction veer sharply in another direction then reverse themselves again 1T a criss-cross. They keep 1t up fal into the night, the roar of motors spurts of machine gun fire ant flashes of tracer bullets being de. signed to wear down the soldiers nerves and prevent their getting any rest.
 "The bombing and machine gunning are terrific, but we're hold ing them," an Aussie said.
 saw some of the German planes on their way to put the finishing touches to Larisa, a rail center 35 miles south of Mount Olympus. That city of 24,000, wrecked by an earth quake and by Italian bombers before the German attack started, has been bombed, burned and machine gunned night and day by the Ger mans. It has been destroyed. Il looks like Louvain, Belgium, did during the World War. All civilians have gone.

Bitolj Gap from Jugoslavia, now runs from south of Chimara on the Adriatic coast, across Albania to c point south of Erseka, then bulges southeast to a point between Gre vent and Kalabaka, then bends back northeast to the Servia region. east to Mount Olympus, and on to the coast.
 ! On the 0revena- -Kalabaka Road, where the Germans had driven a bulge into the center of the 150-mile defense line, British tanks have been flung in to back up the Greeks. The fighting there has been fero- cious and at last reports the Greeks, with British mechanized aid, had consolidated their positions and stopped the German drive.
 Australians Fighting
 The Australians are said to be putting up a magnificent fight against almost overwhelming odds an the Servia Sector, where German arlnored divisions are concentrated.
 Australian and New Zealand fight CTS are supported by British artil- lery which is destroying truckloads end busloads of German infantry men. German shock troops, march, eng beside and sometimes ahead of the tanks, carrying sub-machtne guns, are being moved down by Allied machine guns in the valleys below snow-covered Mount Olympus, mythical abode of the ancient Greek gods, whose sides echo the roar of the battle and the noise of passing swarms of fighting and bombing planes.
 (The following was filed by Corre- spondent McMillian from the front at o:30 p. ri1., April l6):
 Roads Clogged With Bodies
 The rugged roads and passes are almost clogged with the bodies of strong, bold, arrogant German youths who called themselves "blitz men," and the wreckage of the guns, tanks and trucks which sup- ported them.
 But the Germans keep coming in such fasses, British major told he, "that our troops find 1t humanly ir1- possible to fire quickly enough to stop them all."
 As I write this the British, Aus tralian and New Zealand troops are still holding the passes and their front is firm, but a rectification of the Allied lines is deemed necessary because of a German advance south of Grevena, near the center of the line.
 (Tiae German break through near Grevena has not been explained, but this dispatch would indicate 1t was either an out-flankirg nlaneu- yer or a penetration of Greek-held territory.)
 The battle is on a scale compar- able to the blitzlsrieg In France. Ger many has thrown into 1t, needless of the cost, at least three armored di- visions, picked Austrian Alpine troops and brigades of the youth full Hitlerian shock troops or "blitz men," many still in their teens, re- cruited from Hitler youth organiza- tions and distinguished by lightning flash symbols and individual num- bers on their sleeves.
 Battle of Magnitude
 No one can really see @ battle of such magnitude as this. The story of 1t would contain the individual experiences or impressions of count less thousands of men. Here are few I obtained from:
 A British infantry major: "The enemy infantry came on in waves, using sub-machine guns. They marched four abreast, many lines deep. we moved them down but they advanced In such masses our troops found 1t humanly impossible Ao fire n,,icklv eno,iph. Then the
