Vital Time Gained in Greece
NAZI PLANS UPSET LONDON, April 30. «4Rec. 1, 12.45) LONDON, April 30. Observers in Cairo point out that the British operations in Greece thoroughly upset the German timetable. If these operations had not been undertaken, Germany would still have imposed her will on Yugoslavia and Greece, and much earlier. As it was, she had to bring troops and aircraft from the rest of Europe, and this diversion interfered with the carefully-planned working of the Nazi machine. Hitler has now two more hostile countries on his hands. He must restore communications and make good his loss-’ cs. He hoped to get steady supplies from Greece and Yugoslavia, but now he may not get them, and he may even have to supply these two countries himself. “We may have gained as much as two months by our operations in Greece, and this gaining of time is very important when the Middle East is getting more and more supplies ever* i week.” said an observer.
