MILLION MEN ARE
READY FOR INVASION

London - What makes the un-
derbelly of the axis culver?
Across the blue Mediterranean,
opposite the 5000 mile coastline
from Perpigan in France to Alex
androupolis in Greece, more than
a million men of the allied arm
les, with air force such as the
world has never seen, are poised
to spring against any one of sew
eral places.
When it will come is the closest
held secret in the world.
No one can fight like we'll
trained, superbly equipped men
who have tasted the sweets of
victory.
And in the five allied armies in
North Africa and the Middle East
there are at least that many
there are hundreds of thousands
of veterans of the memorable
campaign that drove the axis
armies from Africa.
On the defensive along the I'M
derside of Europe from southern
France to the Dodecanese islands
are probably 100000 soldiers,
three quarters of them Italians,
and an air force of something
like 1000 planes, about half of it
the deficient Regia Aeronautica
of Italy.
