The fall OF Skoplie can be re-
garded, officials said. as the first
major symptom Of doom for the
Serbs, as its capture cuts off the
most important railway line TO
Salonika from northern Yugoslavia
and limits the prospect OF further
sugglies from that port.
The advance on Skoplie was ac-
complished through cooperation
between the Luftwaffe and ground
troops and tanks.
Stukas, using the terroriZing
tactics which were so effective in
the lowlands and France, bombed
and dispersed Yugoslavian infan-
try columns and motorized forces,
inflicting heavy casualties.
Up TO late hour, no British
troops had yet been encountered
in the Balkans. But air battles.
presumably involving the Royal
Air Force, were frequent. The
latest abulation showed 80
enemy planes shot down or de-
stroyed on the ground.
