ROMMEL'S FORCES
FEELING WEIGHT OF ATTACK
LONDON, August 16,
Field-Marshal Rommel's forces in the Egyptian battle area are beginning: to feel the full weight of the concentrated and skilfully operated Allied air operations, says "The Times" correspondent in the Western Desert.
These operations have recently considerably increased and United States fighters and giant bombers are now working alongside the R.A.F. The continual sinking ®"of enemy lighters indicates how desperately
Rommel is trying to build up the Afrika Korps for a supreme trial of strength. What percentage of these lighters is sunk is unknown, but probably a good many slip through in the darkness. Rommel's need is so great that many are sent in daylight, Of these only a few reach port.
