fensive against German troops
in some sections of Slovenia. A
communique of the PartiSans

Nazi drive that began October Il

The broadcast announcement as
serted that six German divisions
perhaps more than $4,000 troops
had been in action against the Yugo-
slavs and that the guerrillas had in.
fiicted many casualties during the
sporadic fighting.
In addition, the Cairo radio
broadcast report that heavy
demciitions set off by guerrillas hac
made Trieste ana Fiume unusable by
the Germans.
Tito claimed other successes
notably the liberation of the town
Of Nevesinje and villages of Zimlje
and Visln in Herzegovina, but ad-
mitted that the Germans likewise
had scored victories.
The communique said German
troops fighting along the coast OF
Croatia had captured Crkvenica and
landed on the island of Kirk Veg
elaD. Both along the coast and on
the island the Partisans continued
defensive battles.
Also in Eastern Bosnia the Parti-
sans said they we're resisting superior
