Nazis May Postpone
Offensive in Russia
To Fight Invasion
Travellers Reaching
Ankoro Soy Germans
Fear Balkan Thrust
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANKARA, Turkey, May 90
Travellers recently returned from
Germany or German-occupied
countries reported today there are
indications the Nazis may forego
their expected Russian offensive
this summer in order to keep large
reserves of men and equipment
ready for quick movement to the
west or south in event of an Allied
| invasion.
At present. these sources said, the
Germans appear more concerned
over the possibility of an Allied
thrust through the Balkans than
an attack on their Atlantic wall,
and consequently are speeding de-
tense preparations in Southeastern
| Europe.
Reports from the Balkans de-
clared that while the Axis defenses
there are not complete, the Allies,
nevertheless, would find them a
tough-but not mpossible-nut to
| crack.
Turkey May Escape Involvement.
Rumors concerning Allied plans
for a Balkan invasion-most of
them apparently ill founded - are
rife in Turkey, and there is consid-
cradle speculation as to what the
summer may bring forth.
Expert observers, however, pre-
dict that an Allied attempt to crack
Adolf Hitler's defenses in South
eastern Europe is not likely to in
volve Turkey in the war unless she
is threatened with German coun-
teroffensive through Thrace and
the Dardanelles region.
The general opinion here is that
the Allies delivered the knockout
blow to the Axis forces in North
Africa about two weeks sooner than
had been expected in Berlin or
Rome, and that this surprise is re-
sponsible for the current hasty
preparations in the Balkans.
At present less than one full Ger
man garrison division is reported in
Bulgaria, although the Nazis re-
Gently have thoroughly overhauled
communications and supply systems
and prepared advance base sites for
quick movement of troops If this
proves necessary.
Bulgarian Ports Supervised.
Bulgaria's Black Sea ports are
said to be strictly supervised by the
Germans, who are under orders to
fire without warning on any one
even Bulgarian officers-who ap-
proach defense zones.
Sofia. however, is reported to be
| extremely vulnerable to air attack
and efforts are being made to evac-
uate as many persons as possible.
| Partial evacuation of several Of
the larger Rumanian cities also is
reported under way while in Buda-
pest police are said to be conducting
sweeping roundup of elements be-
lieved likely to prove troublesome in
event of invasion.
Greece currently is believed to
boast the largest Axis garrison in the
Balkans, with more than 20 italian
division, 3 German divisions and
possibly Croat division based there.
