GRIM PROSPECT FOR AXIS
ROMMEL'S CHANGE OF A STANIX
B.O.W.
RUGBY, Jan. 26.
The prospect cf Romrnel fighting another delaying aetion, this time at the Mareth Line, is being discussed in London. It is doub t - ed whether he could make a more determined bid to halt the 8th Army than he did at E1 Agheila or Wadi Zemzem, for it seems unlikely that von Arnim, agairist whom the whole of the AngloArnericari araiies are piling up, can give him any reinforcement. If Rornmel is unable to do more than fight a delaying aetion on this favourable position it seems unlikely that he can defend south-eastern h'unisia at all 01* do more than attempt to join von Arnim in Tunisia and await a formidable Allied assault from the west and south, from the skies and the sea. It is with this grim prospect before them that the German commanders will be watehing the fate of their colleagues in Stalingrad.
