Confused Germans
Want Farley With
Badog|io, Spain Hears
Nv the Associated Press,

MADRID, July 27.-Berlin dis
patches to the Madrid newspaper
Informaciones suggested today
that Adolf Hitler, apparently
taken by surprise by Premier
Mussolinis resignation, would
like very much to arrange a
meeting with Marshal Pietro
Badoglio.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Madrid newspaper 1nformaciones
quoted a German Foreign ONCE
spokesman as saying Mussolinis
resignation had nothing to do with
his conference with Hitler last week
and inferred that the Fuehrer was
greatly surprised.
At the same time, the correspon-
dent said, it was suggested in Berlin
that 1t would be nice If the new
governor of Italy could get together
with the German leader for meet
ing.
Berlin Confused.
In other words, unless the Spanish
correspondent was made the carrier
for propaganda, Berlin doesn't know
what to expect from Badoglio and
his government-which Berlin has
termed a cabinet of technicians."
There were indications, however,
that the Germans were hurrying
military preparations designed to
plug up holes which might be left
in the Balkans should Italy bow
out of the war or should Italian
troops there decide to go home.
(The Algiers radio broadcast a
report last night that Badoglio
had recalled % Italian divisions
from Yugoslavia and Greece, as
well as three or four divisions in
Southern France)
The 1nformationes dispatch-the
first word received here from Berlin
describing German reaction to the
Italian crisis-said, however, that
the Germans continue to believe
that the Italian change will not con-
Germ the Fascist structure in Italy,
despite the order Incorporating the
Fascist militia in the regular army
Supply Line Threatened.
Reports from Rome, meanwhile,
said Badoglio was busy trying to
take the Italian war machine out of
reverse gear and unscramble Italy's
bomb-shattered transport system.
While German divisions are still
solidly entrenched in the Catania-
Etna line in Sicily facing the relent-
less pressure of the British 9th Army
they apparently are worried about
their supply lines.
Unless Badoglio can achieve a
transport miracle, the Na1 troops
may be forced to withdraw from
Sicily because of an imminent short
age of ammunition and other sup
plies.
To strengthen his Balkan defenses,
1t was pointed out here, Hitler would
have to use troops from Austria
and Greece. The Vardar and Mo-
rava River Valleys have been held
mainly by Italian units which would
have to be replaced If Rome orders
them home.

1t was apparent that the Axis
forces under Nazi Field Marshal
Gen Albert Kesselring were making
frantic preparations for the general
Allied assault which appears immi-
nent.

Whether these German troops

Italians remaining in Sicily was
problematical. There were believed
to be Italians to the numerical
strength of three divisions remain
ing on the island, but in the most
recent phases of the struggle they
have shown little disposition to
fight.
The British were still finding the
Nazi lines at Catania a tough nut

were meeting with stiff resistance
