War Situation Last Night

(By KIRKE L. SIMPSON, Associated Press War Analyst)

Although the battle of Stalingrad holds the spotlight in the war news, developments in the Atlantic, in Egypt and the Balkans have def- inite significance.

The British commando-t“... raid on Tohruk, Marshal R0mme|'s major advance base and probably the site of his chief tank and truck repair operations, points strongly toward an impending British counter- offenaive in Egypt. Coupled with the simultaneous landing raid opera- tions nt El Dabs. behind the Nazi sea flank. the Tohruk operation looms as a prelude to s formidable British attempt to drive Rommel out of Egypt before he can recover fr0rn his recent repulse.

I O I O t I

By every indication Anglo American tank power as well as air power noiv surpasses that of the Axis in Egypt. The time seems right. for an attempt to crush Rommel before Hitler can spare planes from Russia, Egypt has seemed (o this writer to hold out more imminent Allied second-front possibilities to take some strain off the Russians than any other sector,

Another development which catches attention was the whipsnw Anglo-Russian air offensive against the Ploestl oil field in Rumimia. Moscow reported many fires started at that nerve centre of Nazi oil supplies. it has not been similarly bombarded since the fall of Grcccc drove British bombers back beyond the Mediterranean except for a re- cent surprise American attack of limited scope,
