where this northern lino was
likely to be, but one from Just
north of Spezla on the west coast
through Bologna to Rimini is the
basis of much speculation.
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.
