Northern Italy patriots, said News
Of simultaneous attack by the

at Busto-Arsizio, in Northern Italy,
declared that patriot forces had

leading to the Brenner Pass had

ground war has broken out in Ber-
lin-in sewers and subways, which
not only are being used as centers
Of fighting, but also as hiding places
for Germans not wishing to con-
tinue "the senseless resistance"
Even more complicated than the
battle Of the subway, to which Stall
ingrad veterans have been assigned,
was the sewer war. Asanov said.
Donning rubber coats, Soviet troops
went underground to block Berlin's
shattered sewage system and halt
German attempts to penetrate
Soviet rear positions.
There are deafening explosions
from beneath the ground, shaking
the streets and splitting the asphalt
above ground" he said.
Berlin, starving with its stores
and shops looted by hungry German
civilians, was without water. The
Red Army was rushing supplies Il
fresh water to its soldiers from the

Trapped in the dwindling 25-
square-mile central pocket, the Ger

Red Army artillery and aerial bonn
bardment. The Nazi high command
claimed that reinforcements and
supplies were being dropped by air
The enemy also asserted that
German troops west of Berlin had
withdrawn from the American 9th

Milan itself was reported freed of
German troops by powerful Italian
patriot forces, and so was the big
