KESSELRING'S PLAN
SOME SUGGESTIONS
EXAMPLE OF ROMMEL
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) Rec. 1 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 5. General Kesselring is reported to be sending trops from the Volturno line to Rome. A report from Madrid estimates that the equivalent of two divisions arrived at Rome on Saturday. Some Allied correspondents believe that Kesselring will not lose much time in going north to link up ,with the main German forces under Rommel. Other correspondents, however, think he is unlikely to order a further retreat without strong pressure by the Allies. He will probably follow Rommel's tactics in the retreat across Libya, hold successive positions in sufficient strength to force the Allies to deploy their main strength to de^l with him, and then withdraw to another position before being brought to battle. This would impose the maximum delay on the Allies without further depleting the weakened German forces.
