War Situation Last Night

(By EDWARD E. BOMAR, Associated Press War Analyst)

A new plosion appears imminent in the western desert, where RommePs Africa. corps has been formidably strengthened. The Nazi commander has a striking force possibly even twice as strong as the army that swept half across Libya and 250 milos into Egypt.

Whether the foo has been able by feverish efforts during the two. month lull to gain actual numerical superiority over the defenders oi the Nile can not be known for the moment. The extent of British and American reinforcements has not been disclosed.

Spitfires Make Longest night‘ OH’ Escort Duty.

LONDON, Aug. 27—(CP) -—The Russians from the east and British, Canadian and American allies from the west are engaged in a whipsaw aerial pounding against German - occupied Europe, it became apparent tonight, with Soviet raids on Berlin and east German towns to which Ruhr and Rhineland industries have been moved and continued attacks launched from Bri- tain.

In their sixth big foray against the enemy in Eur- ope, American Flying Fort- resses escorted by two squadrons of R. C. A. F. fighters and other squad- rons of R. A. F. Spitfires, bombed shipyards at Rotter- dam and again all returned home this afternoon, a joint R. A. F.-U. S. headquarters announcement said.

This latest combined aer- ial operation against Ger- many’s might in western Europe came within a few hours after Russian planes fanned out over eastern Germany in destructive raids on at least eight cit- les and towns, and Cana- dian fighters escorted R. A. F. Hurricane bombers to an attack on shipping in the harbor of the battle-marked Dicppe.
