nazis were clearing civilians
from stretches of the north bank
of the Amo, both east and west
of Florence. This was viewed
as possibly signifying an enemy
plan to establish a strong defen
sive zone fringing Florence on
the north side of the river to
which a retreat could be made
when the present line no longer
is tenable.
Patriots Raise Trouble
The Germans meanwhile wore
having their troubles with Ital
ian patriots.
A proclamation by the nnzl
command found posted in the

peared in the area since the
