by Eisenhower. British troops are under
command of Montgomery
and the Americans under Patton.
The heaviest of the 7 counterattacks
which were all repulsed took place
at Gela. The enemy used some 45
tanks and a great number of infantry
troops.
On the Eastern front heavy German attacks
near Kursk have been repelled.
South of Belgorod the Russians have
attacked again. Position here is still
dangerous but the Germans have been
unable to exploit their thrust.
Sweden has refused to be paid in gold by
Germany no doubt due to a recent
Allied statement that such gold will
be claimed back as it may have been
down from the gold stocks of the occupied
countries. The tension in the Balkans
increases.
Latest news from Pacific is of air attacks
near Aleutians. Only news from S.W.
Pacific is of air attacks on Munda,
Rabaul (New Britain) and Salamana
(New Guinea)
