COLOSSAL RLUNDER

The successful landing against
negligible German resistance rep
resented the capitalization of what
was described officially as a col

shifting three divisions from the
area below Rome to reinforce Kes-
Selring'S forces to the south.
So far the Germans had made no
serious effort to impede the inva-
sion. and it could be presumed
that the American and British as
sault forces were going after their
objectives as fast as possible, their
first goal being the rupture of the
main transport arteries.

over all of Italy, the allies MAIN

For the present, the American

The view prevails in responsible

Great Britain must remember that
