ITALY’S WAY OF FIGHTING
COMMENT BY GERMAN NEWSPAPER MEDITERRANEAN DISPOSITIONS. (Recd. 9.22 p.m.) Zurich. Sept. 28. “Most Germans do not understand that Italy's way of fighting is due to a lack of knowledge of the real strategic positions in the Mediterranean.” says the Frankfurter Zeitung, discussing Italy's difficulties. It added: “The Luftwaffe, after much hard fighting, knows why Malta is still in English hands. Our pilots know that only by constant attack can Malta’s strategic value bo reduced. The same applies to Mediterranean bases from which the British r leet is constantly menacing the Italian merchant fleet. Our advantage in the Middle East lies in the fact that a great part of the British forces are tied up there. “Germany wants to keep Italy as a war partner. We assure Italy that fighting Russia is not making us forget Italy's worries in Africa."—U.P.A.
