well. An airfield near Athens was
also bombed and in all we destroyed
13 German planes against one of
ours missing.
In Italy the Americans regained
some ground they lost to the Germans
the day before yesterday.
On the other fronts only local clashes
took place.
Catroux is continuing his talks
at Beirut from where strikes are
reported. In Russia the danger
spot for the Germans lies 90 miles
N.W. of Kiev at Korosten and also
Gomel. Korosten is being shelled by the
Russians who are 5 miles
away to the East and 7 miles to
the So. East. The railway 35 miles west of
Gomel has been cut so that Gomel
may be taken from the rear.
The Russians are also extending
their bridgehead over the Sozh.
Russians have to meet with heavy
resistance but not nearly so heavy as
on the South. Allied aircraft in the SWP
have sunk a large transport and damaged
2 merchant ships. Our Mosquitoes were
over Germany and returned without loss.
Economy in use of gas and electricity is
strictly necessary.
