Pompeii, italy, Sept. 29.-(UP)-
The fierce battle that finally crack
ed the German line before Naples
left modern Pompeii in ruins and
crumbled away more Of the ancient
city that was buried In the erup-
ton of Mt. Vesuvius in the year 70.
entered Pompeii this morning
with the first British tonl1nies to
march inc the city. German tanks
still were Smelling It from the sides
OF Mt. Vesuvius and our guns were
answering In kind, sending up
clouds Of dust and smoke to mingle
with the feathery, white column
over the crater Of Vesuvius.
The German defense line had run
straight through Pompeii and many
OF the towns inhabitants died in
the cross-fire OF battle. Some houses
disappeared completely under the
barrage Of shells, bullets and aerial
bombs.
Whole walls dangled from the
sides Of other dwellings, and inside
inhabitants could be seen as in open
doll houses trying to re-arrange
their furniture in preparation for
returning thee.
Historic Pompeii suffered consid-
erahly from air raids. ! toured II
while German tank and mortar
shells still were cracking overhead.
The inevitable tourist guide sud-
denly popped up from q bomb craft
er while was crawling among the
ruins. His name was Giuseppe.
Much Damage
Crouching low 50 as not to pre-
sent q target against the skyline,
we found the ampitheater undan-
aged, though a block buster had
dug a huge pit less than 30 yards
away, but the forum, museum and
the most recent excavations had
been damaged in the fighting.
The houses Of prostitution, where
guides always conducted men tour
lists for a small extra charge ,es-
capped damage.
The tourist gate through which
thousands Of American visitors have
passed was battle-scarred and the
administration office entrance had
been smashed by bombs. Portraits
Of Benito Mussolini had been re-
moved from the office, but there
was q picture Of King Victor En-
manuel, slashed by bit Of sharp
mel.
The German Vesuvius line broke
yesterday evening after the Nazis
had suffered thousands Of casual
ties In q futile attempt to halt the
Fifth army short Of the Naples
plain.
Though they still were making a
rear guard stand on the side Of Mt
Vesuvius when we entered Pompeii,
the Germans had withdrawn most
of their heavy artillery and were
depending almost exclusively on
tank guns, which they were using
IS artillery, and some n1ortars. They

revealed that Brozovich's forces had
evacuated the Dalmatian seaport Of

It was a pathetic sight because
the Italian girls had only old, torn

arms were bruised. Many used lip

grotuesque appearance. since they
had no soap with which to wash
the dust Of battle from their faces.
The German dead were buried

Loans can be made to finance
