Wendell Willkie Sees New German Armoured Vehicle Captured by 8th. Army: Mr Wendell Willkie inspecting a new German armoured weapon, first of its kind to be captured by the 8th. Army. It was taken during Rommel’s unsuccessful drive against Allied positions in Egypt when Axis forces were driven back to their original lines with heavy losses. The 15. m. gun is of German make. The tank chassis is of French manufacture —possibly from the Renault work in Paris. The speedometer showed less than 1000 kilometres of travel.
