The Cairo correspondent of “The Timos" says (he Germans are now operating from all of the seven air bases in Peloponnesus (southern Greece) and the vicinity of Athens, and also from an eighth base in Melos. He adds that a significant report on the Luftwaffe comes from Libya, where few enemy planes are taking the air. though several hundred planes are massed there.
