believes that Germany has been smashed by the

have been attacked more than TOO times and such

The most reliable guide TO damage done TO
German cities is the Raj aerial Photographic

and RostOck have been devastated When the Raj
uses the word devastated it means that more

All Men and MaterieI
Now Evacuated From
Sicily, Germans Say
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Berlin
radio in a broadcast recorded by
the Associated Press said today that
ali German and Italian troops have
been Withdrawn from Sicily.
The broadcast said the retreat
from the island was carried out in
the early hours today and that they
reached the mainland of Italy with
their entire materiel and all sup
plies"
Maj. Gen. Hube. whom the Ger
man broadcast described as the
German commander in chief in
Sicily, was one of the last to leave
the island, the Berlin radio said.
Army Held Ready to Strike.
The German announcement said
the Axis withdrawal had been so
successfully conducted that now on
the Italian mainland an army is
ready to strike"
Todays italian communique
broadcast by Rome and recorded by
the Associated Press made no men
ton of the retreat across the Strait
of Messina, but it limited it's an
nouncement to rearguard actions
fought Yesterday.
Positions surrounding the city of
Messina yesterday were bitterly con-
tested by Italian and German rear
guards the communique reported.
IL Planes Declared DeStroyed
The Rome communique asserted
that Is Allied bombers were shot
down by fighter planes and antiair-
craft fire during the raids on Turin,
Viterbo and Foggia yesterday. 1t
claimed that the British lost five
torpedo planes in futile" attacks
on Axis conveys and that Italian
dive bombers set on fire two Allied
merchantmen in the roadstead at
Syracuse on the southeast coast of
Sicily.
The regular German communique
made no mention of the evacuation
of Sicily, but later a special COM
munique said:
Despite strong enemy air superb
ority it has been possible to carry
out the enormous task of transpor-
tation to Calabria according to plan,
so that by 6 am. all German and
Italian troops, together with their
heavy arms, tanks, guns, motor
transport and equipment, had
crossed the Strait of Messina to the
mainland"

blenders still are present in some

defenders still are present in some
force.
Such was the case. for example,
at Porto Olivia, site of one OF the
largest Sicilian airdromes, where
enemy defenders still were in the
gunpits. The infantry -airmen had
to do their own hopping up before
the place could be used as an operat-
ing base. They arrived probably In
the nick of time to save this valuable
field from destruction. The field
was ringed with 500-pound bombs.
Bombs also were distributed along
all the runways. All were con-
nected electrically so that only the
pushing of button was required
to set all of at once.
But the defenders had delayed do
ing this a couple of minutes too
long. The 20-mm. guns, chief de-
fensive weapons at the field, had
chambers filled with ammunition,
but had not been fired. Only some
of the mechanical crews were left.

says. Three day can be endured
for quite while during emergen-

points out, saps a pilots vitality
quickly. Every mission is highly
concentrated action.
Losses now have been cut very
low, considering the hazardous ma

killed, any more. Nearly all those

is sufficient for any minor purchase.

The first American fighter group
to arrive overseas in the European
theater of operations and which
first went into full-scale operation
over Dieppe still is putting up
grand fight on the Sicilian front,
with a good many of it's original
pilots flying almost daily sorties.
This is the group flying British
Spitf1res and commanded by 1t. Col
Frank A. Hill of Hillsdale, N. j., an
ace pilot who entered the Army as
private less than four years ago.
The groups job is escorting bombers
and affording air cover for conveys
at the front.
In the big advance which started
after the British occupation of Ca
tania and the American entrance
into Troina, 1t. Col Hill and his
men were maintaining constant
dawn to-dusk cover for the advanc-
ing troops. 1t is eminently fighting
outfit, from the cooks and mechanics
up to the highest rating aces. The
ground forces are trained and fight
as infantrymen. for the outfit is con-
stantly with the fighting troops and
its landing strips seldom are more
than 20 miles behind the front lines
The infantry training, 1t. Col. Hill
explains. proved invaluable in Sicily
A month before the landing one
squadron was detached in Africa and
sent to train with the 1st Division,
and it afforded both air cover for the
convoy across the Mediterranean
and for the troops during the first
three days of constant fighting in
the advance from the west coast. AS
it goes along it must either con-
struct its own landing strips or take
over airports in the line of advance

circle. He is picking up the curious
Sicilian brand of Italian easily, so
that he can carry on some sort of
conversation in a few days. He is
growing fond of the people. He
finds them "a lot more like us" than
he ever found anybody in Algeria or
Tunisia.
Despite the fact that towns are out
of bounds and determination for
bidden-for one very good reason,
among others, that conditions nearly
everywhere are very insanitary-he
is somehow getting himself into
family circles. Already have seen
him helping the housewife with her
dishes.
He has the instructive feeling that
nobody is trying to get the best of
him in bargain.
Likes Sicilian Children.
He makes himself sick on Italian
ice cream. Its manufacture is prob
ably very insanitary. He consumes
great quantities of date-filled cakes
that look on the outside like dough-
nuts. The cake stores and the ice
cream parlors keep opening up just
a step ahead of vigilant MPs. No
sooner is one closed than another
is doing business around the corner.
He likes the very ragged, very
dirty children who beg for cara

often as there is candy issue at his
mess. Somehow or other they ask
for it naturally as sugar-hungry
children should-not with the sneer-
ing contempt of most Arab children
begging "bonbons.
Here again money has little mean
ing. But. in contrast to Germany
soap has little value as currency.
Sicilians have none and, by and
large. appear never to have greatly
appreciated the need of any. Mess
