A French communique announced
that Bonifacio at the extreme
southern end Of the island and
Porto Vecchio on the southeastern
coaSt had been occupied. German
troops were withdrawing northward,
destroying roads, bridges, military
installations and war equipment in
their flight.
The German evacuation was CEN
tered In the northeastern port Of
Basitia. But French pressure was
growing and the enemy had been
forced to abandon the heights of
San Stephano on the Murato-
BaStia road.
Murato is 10 miles southwest OF
Bastia.
Air raids on Bastia rendered the
port almost useless. Two ships load
ed with war material and four
barges were sunk. Ammunition
dumps and tanks parked on the
quayside were destroyed and rail
traff1c southwark from Bastia was
interrupted.
Patriots operating in the Corsican
mountains were said to have ini-
flicted heavy losses on the enemy.
French naval forces, including
cruisers, destroyers, torpedo boats
and submarines, were playing an
important role in the conquest to
regain Corsica for the French pro-
visional government in Africa. The
navy darted in and out along the
coastline, carrying out numerous
daring missions.
