A cut in German rations, con trary to promises. 2. Realization of the magnitude of the loss of German life in Russia. 3. Taking of boys and elderly men from factories into the army, which is affecting business and industry se riously. 4. Severe British air raids against northern and wertfem Germany, and uneasiness lest this be a “softening” process preceding Allied invasion. Besides the recent friction in the Balkans which hampered Hitler’s plans and deprived him of the troops which he expected from the. south eastern Europe satellites, it is now reported here that there is disagree ment and conflict between the Italian commander in chief in North Africa and Nazi Marshal Erwin Rommel, commander of Hitler’s Afrlka korps. The Italian, Genefil Ettore Bas- tico, is said to mistrust the free use by Rommel of Italian troops.
