The Invasion message, read from the United Nations radio at Algiers and from BBC in Lon don, urged patriots "to perfect all preparations In the shortest possible time. Directed to France The broadcast, directed prl- marily to the people of metro politan France, declared a new phase of the European war. "the liberation of occupied countries, has begun now that the occupa tion of Sicily is complete. "We obviously are not going to reveal where the blow will fall," the message said, then added: "People of the occupied coun try which is to be the first to welcome the armies of libera tion will be notified at the last minute." Opinion Is growing in Britain that there may possibly be more than, one diversionary blow ac companying major landings. German commentators were quoted to the same effect in Stockholm dispatches to London morning newspapers. These com mentators were said to predict "a' double second front might be launched by the allies at any moment.
