REVOLT IN BALKANS
Nazis Worried At Extent Of Sabotage BLITZ LEADER IX GREECE Rec. 2.30 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 1. An Istanbul message says General List, Nazi blitz commander, is believed to have withdrawn from the Russian front. He was seen in Athens and Sofia last week. It is believed that General List was sent to appraise the situation in the Balkans and estimate whether j there was danger of a British landing in Greece, in regard to which it is significant that the Germans are fortifying Mount Olympus. The Germans are seriously worried at the Balkans situation and doubt the ability of their satellites to hold down the conquered countries. Yugoslavia, Greece and even Bulgaria are seething with sabotage activities. Yugoslavian mountain guerillas have forced the Germans to send back 25,000 men to maintain order. A strict curfew is imposed in Belgrade. The Germans have given up ; sounding the alarm for R.A.F. ] attacks on Greece, because the Greeks make the raids the occasion for popular rejoicing.
