Works are beginning again. In Milan
there are still strikes. Up to yesterday armoured
cars were patrolling the streets of Rome.
A special message from General Eisenhower
has been broadcast to the Italian people.
Therein Eisenhower said he can compliment
the people of Italy and the House of Savoy
in getting rid of the fascists.
Today is the 60th birthday of Mussolini.
Eisenhower also said you can have peace
and immediately. We come as liberators
and as has been proved in Sicily our accusation
will be mild.
Provided Allied prisoners are not
sent to Germany but returned to us
the hundreds of thousands of Italian
prisoners will be sent back.
The Russians again advanced from 2 1/2 to 4
miles and they are now 10 miles from Orel.
Moscow reports that the enemy is pushed
away to the West and South West and the
Germans are slowly pressed back.
Orel and Bryansk were raided by Russian
bombers. Our fighters are reported out
across the Channel today 3 enemy fighters
were destroyed. After midnight last night there
were a few enemy planes over Scotland
