War Situation Last Night

By Cari C. Cranmer. Associated Press War Analyst

I The clouds of planes-400 of them-which French Premier Rcynaud I pleaded for in 1940 rose from Africa Sunday am] struck at Palermo, I, Sicily. strongly indicating that the invasion of MussolinPs land of "8,- I 000.000 bayonets" and perhaps other parts of Hitleﬁs European hedgehog 1 is imminent. l lt seems most unliwely that the Allies would have waited until after the fall of Tunis and Bizerte to make their greatest aerial assault in their L purpose was to stop a. flow of supplies or reinforcements to Africa. E

The Palermo raid and the l00-plane attack on Pantelleria Saturday 1 definitely look like the “softening up," perhaps the beginning of the end of that process.

Gen. Henri Giraud. whose reputation us a prophet was enhanced s. week ago when he predicted the mopping-up of the Axis in Tunisia by the end of May, lends support tn the guess that the invasion die is being cast with his declaration that "tomorrow the fortress of Europe will be entered."

llis zidmonishmcnt to Frenchmen to restrain their trigger fingers "until we are ready to hit jointly from east and west" is curious. Does lie mean the first atttnck is to fail on Italy and the day for Frenchmen to net is not on the marrow"? at any rate he promises that the twin blows are not far distant.

The Allied announcement that 50.000 prisoners have been taken in Tunisia. since Friday, including three German divisional commanders and , their staff and the remnants of the 15th German armored division, makes it plain that the Africa. corps has been virtually destroyed and that Cap B0n's occupation will be l, mopping-up process.

That is a. victory exceeding that at El Alanfein in Egypt, when 30,000 of the enemy were captured and 45,000 killed or wounded.

The United Nations can await the invasion of the European continent with vastly greater confidence than if the Allied armies had been forced to take their Tunisian objectives in a. slow’, grinding, bloody siege high in its casualties.

Casualties are bound to be high when British, Canadian. American, French and other Allied forces begin their assaults upon the defence sys- tems Hitler has prepared in his fortress.

But the brilliance of the achievement in Tunisia ziugurs well for the future. ~

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AF- RICA, May 9--(AP)—AIIied troops have swept up at least 50,000 Axis prisoners since Friday and are pounding heavily at enemy pockets still resisting southeast of Tunis and in the central sector of the crumbled German lines, a special communique an- nounced today.

The German airforce apparently abandoned Tunisia, but 400 Allied planes roared out today in the greatest raid ever launched from Africa to create havoc in clocks and industrial areas of Pai-

ermo, Sicily.

American troops of the 2nd corps have “com- pleted mopping up in ""' ' area around Bizerte, where organized resistance has ceased,” the spec- ial w.ar bulletin reported.

Allied forces were closing in remorseiessiy to seal off the enemy retreat onto Cap Bon Peninsula, but headquarters announced that “heavy fighting continues” in the area of Hammam Lif, 10 miles southeast of Tunis on the Bay, the northern Iiinge, of the Axis defence line across the. neck 0f the Pen-

insula- (The BBC said British armored units had

captured Hammamet, the southern hinge 28 miles

south of Hammam Lif.)

Three German divisional coin-I, manders and their staff were a-| mong the 50,000 prisoners taken, since Tunis and Bizerte fell Friday- to the peii-iheu rush of Allied col-i umns, indicating the rapid demor-. alization of the Axis forces.

iReccnt estimates had placed the number of the enemy in

Tunisia. at. 150,000 to 200.000

troops, and these captives

would account for one-third or one-fourth of all the Axis dc- fenders.
