The German radio mentioned
for the first time during the
night that Nazi forces in Tun-

tanks, references to which have
appeared several times recent

North Africa.
BY coincidence Berlin broad

firing power of the new tanks
was recorded by the Associated
Press almost simultaneously
with receipt of advices from al
lied headquarters that one of
the monsters had been knocked
out of action by British six
pound cannon which sent four
shells through its thick armor.
The Berlin broadcast gave no
details concerning the weight
and armament of the tanks,
photographs of which were said
TO be appearing for the first
time in this mornings German
newspapers.
Recent allied dispatches, how
ever, have described the tank
as the Mark vi type, weighing
from So to 81 tons, carrying
crew of eight and capable OF

Its main armor belt is seven
inches thick and its heaviest
gun is an 88-millimeter.
Despite the tremendous armor

experts in London pointed out
that the Mark vi still has the
usual Achilles heel in its treads
and lightly protected belly, and
said a few well-placed shots in
these spots could knock out the
monsters out as easily as small

Two of the Mark Wis were
reported knocked out in the
