political nature have taken place

German capital, serious strikes
and German peace demonstra
tions.
The broadcast, also made by
DNB, official news agency, said
German newspapers had pub

The Germans, apparently us

around Mt. Etna staged one of
their bitterest defenses there.
Allen's troops had to storm up
sheer, rocky hill and mountain

all types of nazi weapons.
Its fall opened the way for
an attack on the flank of the
German troops believed to be
pulling out to establish a new
defense line to the northeast of
Mt. Etna.
