ITALIAN PARTISANS
BRENNER PASS ATTACKED
(Received Sept. 27, noon) LONDON, Sept. 26
Strong bands of Italian partisans are concentrating attacks against the Brenner Pass railway, says tha Zurich correspondent of the Stockholm newspaper Dagens Nytheter.
This line, which is one of the main routes for the reinforcement of the German forces in Italy, has been hammered at three points by Flying Fortresses during the week-end, says the Algiers correspondent of the British United Press. The main weight of the bomber attacks fell on Bolzano, Verona and Bologna. Verona, which was the scene of the last meeting in Italy between Hitler and Mussolini, is now reported to be Rommel’s headquarters. Bolzano is a bottleneck in the German communication lines through which the main supplies are passing. If the line was blocked even briefly it would be a heavy blow against Rommel’s chances of holding up the Allied advance.
