ENEMY FLATTERY
OPPONENTS IN LIBYA
(Rec. 2 p.m.)
CAIRO, Feb. 27.
A flattering estimate of his Allied opponents has been recorded by a German officer serving on the Libyan front.
He says: "The British, Australians, and1 New Zealanders are tough and hard opponents as individual fighters. They are highly skilled in defence, unimaginative and inflexible in attack, cold-blooded and skilled in in-fighting, experienced in assault, and capable of standing up to all kinds of hardships."
