Mediterranean Front

Warned by Marshall Rommel that
they must hold their winter line, which
is anchored on Mignano on the west
coast OF Italy. German troops have made
several disastrous attacks on mountain
heights captured during the week by 1t.
Gen. Mark Clark's American 5th Army
which dominates the approaches to the
city, losing heavily and accomplishing
nothing.
Generally speaking, however, the
hghtlng has been at a slower pace than
recently, snow in the hills and bitterly
cold rain in the lower areas having
served to slow up the advance of the
American and British forces all along
the front.
There were indications, however, that
Marshal Rommel doubts his ability to
hold the so-called winter line and that
he fears another leapfrog landing up
the west coast beyond his present bases.
Bearing out this belief is the fact that
the Nazis have gone Systematically
about the business Of destroying the
ports Of Gaeta and Leghorn. Reserve
fuel dumps in Gaeta have been blown
up by the Nazis and number of ships
have been sunk in the harbor at Leg
horn in an effort to render the port
useless if it should fall into Allied hands.
On the eastern flank, Gen. Mont
gomerys British 9th Army has cap
tured high ground overlooking the San
vvyhs snH l~
stacle behind which Rommel hopes to
stage his holding operation Captured
prisoners reported that the Nazis are
under orders not to give ground for at
least eight weeks.
Allied aircraft struck number of
crippling blows against the enemy. Like
the raids from England against the vital
ball and roller bearing plants in Ger
many, 18th Air Force Liberators smashed
the ball-bearing works at Villar Perosha
a day after Flying Fortresses had ac-
complished similar mission at the Fiat
works in Turin.
Throughout the week Allied planes
struck at the German communication
lines, not only feeding the present battle
front but at Brenner Pass, along the
Riviera and at other places where REIN
forcements funnel into Italy or perhaps
hope to funnel out.
Action was rather light on the Balkan
front with the Yugoslavian Partisans
reported wiping out number Of Ger
man garrisons in the Croatian province
OF Zagreb. Other action occurred in
Bosnia.
One offensive gesture by the Germans
met with initial success when a landing
was made on the Greek island of Leros
which would serve as listening post
and airbase useful to the Germans in
case of an Allied expedition moving up
the Aegean Sea. British troops are Tight
ing against this landing force.
