Their advance threatened Ader- no. and the capture of Centuripe by the 78th Division permitted direct observation and artillery fire on Aderno on the only inland road running vfest Mount Etna, which is left to the Axis. Along the inland road they were liable to encounter heavy Allied artillery and along the coastal road they faced a devastatng naval bombard- ment. Even the use oi the highway oi Aderno was extremely limited. Capture of Patorno pushed the de- fenders back onto secondary roads.

Official reports said relat- ions between Germans and li- alians were worsening. and one Italian taken at Catanla said that during the defence of that city "I killed more Ger- mans than I killed English."

The Sicilian front line correspon- dent for the U.S. Army, newspaper Stars and Strides, quoted an Ame- rican officer as estimating that only 5.000 Italian infantrymen siill were fighting on the island along with possibly 35.000 Germans.
