Haul Of Motorised Booty From Germans
LONDON, June 28. Salvage officers reveal that Italian and German armies in North Africa have left enough motorised booty to supply at least a complete first army, says the Algiers correspondent of the Associated Press. For instance, they have captured more lorries, armoured cars and staff cars than those with which it started the campaign. Almost a dozen warehouses are chockfull of spare parts for vehicles. Axis tanks and similar vehicles occupy a “graveyard” extending over several acres. Axis planes which are intact are being despatched to Britain and America. Allied troops are making use of captured arms, including 27,000 rifles.
