NEW LANDINGS BY ALLIES
On Way To Balkans? (Received October 3, 8.10 p.m.)
LONDON, October 2. Berlin radio’s commentator, Captain Sertorius, says that considerable new Allied forces have been landed or are being landed at Taranto, Brindisi and other Apulian coast ports. Part of these forces are obviously reinforcements for the Eighth Army, but the greater part is probably intended for other special tasks, not necessarily in the Italian theatre. It is feasible, he says, that, a body of troops is being built-up for which Apulia will be only an interim base on the way to an invasion attempt in the Balkans. It should be remembered that the American Seventh Army which has disappeared since the conclusion of the Sicilian campaign has not reappeared. Commenting on the Italian campaign, Sertorius said that Field-Marshal Kesselring has not yet accepted the great battle in which the Allies doubtless want him to engage.
