The Phalanx [?] militia has been disbanded
as was announced by the
German News Agency today.
There are now no more Japanese left
on the two British islands 1000 miles
No. of the Solomons. Japanese dive
bombers and fighters are seen less
and less as American strength
in the air increases.
Japanese planes are also kept
grounded by Allied attacks on
their airfields. Over New Britain 12
enemy planes were shot down
and 4 allied planes have not returned.
The Australians are well going
on on New Guinea as the Americans
do in the Solomons. Widespread
air attacks are reported from the
Pacific. Marauders were also out
today bombing military objectives
in No. France. Details are not yet
available. Twice last night a small
number of enemy planes crossed
our coast and were over Essex. Bombs
fell in two places, some damage was
caused and there were a small
number of casualties.
