TRANSPORT PROBLEM
RAILWAY DISORGANISATION
IN GERMANY
RUGBY, August 13
Reports reaching Czecho-Slovak circles in London suggest that • the transport difficulties which are facing Germany have been seriously affecting the economic advantages which she hoped to derive from the conquest of the Balkans. There are many signs that .goods traffic on the German railways in general has been gravely disorganised by the strain put on them by the campaign in Russia, and by bombings. . ' / - ■ ' •
Transport of goptis from Vienna to Dresden, a distance of 250 miles, now takes one. month, >s ' against two days before the war. At present the Nazis do not dare to send goods from southeastern Europe" via Bohemia for 1 fesr of sabotage- there, and all traffic, has been diverted, thus, slowing it down even more. For, goods sent to Germany from, Bohemia and the Balkans, only railway trucks of the respective dispatching countries may be used, the German railways having no trucks to spare.—B.O.W.
