3.3-1944. 6= pm. Stuart Hibberd
The Allied lines in the Anzio beachhead in
Italy are back where they were when Kesselring
started his offensive. The Finns have given
more unfavourable comments on the
Russian armistice terms.
Britain and America are considering to
hand over 1/3 of the Italian fleet to Russia.
In Italy our positions remain intact and
after 3 days of fighting we have in the terms of the
enemy secured a complete defensive
success. We used more aircraft than ever
before in any cooperation operation and
wave after wave of our bombers went in
attacking the enemy positions. Correspondents
report that over 30000 splinter bombs were
dropped. Nearly the whole Middle East
Air Force was turned against the German
positions. Flying Fortresses also attacked
railways outside Rome and no enemy
planes were seen. The Greek guerilla troops
have now decided to work together and
have united. In Algiers sentences have
been passed on 11 officers and men who
managed concentration camps. 4 death sentences
