ROMMEL IN TUNISIA
CONTACT WITH DEFENDING FORCES (Rec. 2 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 27.The German-controlled Paris radio says that Rommel’s and von Arnim’s forces have established 1 * contact. The big dash seems to be nearer in Tunisia. There is evidence of a concentration of Allied strength for the final bout with the Axis for the possession of the whole of North Africa, says the Tunisian correspondent of Reuters. The Americans have made considerable progress in the Ousseltia area and knocked out 15 German tanks in recent fighting north of the town. The Berlin radio says that the American Army is preparing for increased activity south-east of Tebessa. Its advanced formations pushing to the eastwards and south-east have made contact with Axis patrols at several points.
