again because of:
1. 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

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.
