EBOLI CAPTURED
GERMANS SWING BACK
LONDON, September 21
The Fifth Army has captured Eboli, 15 miles from the coast, south-east of Salerno, and the German left flank has turned back to positions east and north of the town. The Eighth Army's advance continues in the face of slight opposition. The Germans are being harried day and night from the air, especially along the road running inland from Eboli to the cross roads 25 miles away and along the road run,ning north from these cross roads to Avelino. This connects with the network of roads in the Naples area. There was only slight fighter opposition today and not only giant Fortresses but medium bombers flew without escort to the heart of the enemy's positions. In some areas not one enemy fighter was met with.
