Axis Secrets- Fall Into Allied Hands

LONDON. July Z — (C?) — Secrets of almost cvcry type 0f Axis armament-most of it "of the very latest type"—have fal- len to Allied experts probing through the massive booty of the Tunisian victory.

And secret No. 1. according to James Wellard, war corres- pondent of the Daily Express, is that the German mark VI tank, the 56-ton fortress with the 88mm. gun can travel _un- dcrwnter. Cabling from Algiers‘. Wcllard said the collection and assembly of "hundreds of thousands of pieces of equip- ment from tanks to small arms and ammunition“ was still iii- complete.

The Germans threw their latest and their best into the fight—lW and Me 109G planes, mark V1, IV and Ill tanks, 88 and 105 MM. anti-aircraft guns. 2 CM. all-service guns with four barrels, their new- est Diesel trucks, mobile tank repair outfits, automatic rifles, the newest machine guns and explosives.

They also used, in contrast, French mountain guns built in 1918 on 1897 blueprint; and modern French and Russian equipment, particularly the potent Soviet anti-tank gun.

It was the opinion of the ex- perts, Wellard wrote, that it was not arms but ammunition the Axis lucked. Some cf the dumps in Bizerte and Enfid- avville, were "very depleted" trgbuie to the naval air block- a e.

"Not only is Germany not afraid‘ of the offensive against her," said; the Paris commentator. “but she is; even looking forward to it because this will indeed be the best means of proving to her enemies the fut- illly of their efforts and of inflict- ing on them a setback or series of setbacks WlllCll will discourage them for good."

The Rome radio for its part con- tinned the effort to harden Italian morale. In a broadcast recorded b_vj the Associated Press a Fascist mill-i‘ tary commcrtntor declared that if, ltsilv surrendered “she would have to join in the fight against her folmer ally. So for war, war again would be substituted. No thanks, gentlemen."

From a. foreign source in London came the report that the German command had moved its air force headquarters in Itoly from Rome to Milan. The same informant assert- ed also that the Nazi fliers were complaining of being forced to use inexperienced and crnreless Italian ground personnel with many result- ant operational accidents.
