Two possible uses of the fleet. which may include, as many as seven or eight battleship, were considered in informed quarters: L It the German high command ha -effective control of the force with Us own officers in key spots, It might be employed at Hitler's direction to battle any allied In vasioit thrust across the Mediter ranean ; into B u r o p e. Properly fought, the fleet could offer con siderable resistance ,to a British-French-American Invasion arma da. : J w- , ;.: 2. If Italians still have effective control of their navy, they may be holding it not so much for its fighting powers as for its value as a force with which to bargain in case the Italians decide to try to make terms with the allies.
