THIRTY THOUSAND PRISONERS
Taken by the Eighth Army EFFORT TO PIN DOWN ROMMEL’S REMAINING FORCES (By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) LONDON, December 30. The Imperial forces in Libya, who are closing in on the main body of enemy troops along the wide sweeping curve of the Gulf of Sidra, are striving to pin General Rommel down for a final reckoning. Heavy Allied reinforcements are beingbrought up. The Italians have been scattered and their general fighting ability destroyed, but the Germans still carry considerable hitting power. Their morale is good and they are apparently still prepared to fight to a finish.. It is believed that the Axis forces still number upwards of 60,000 men, in spite of losses estimated at 70,000, including 30,000 captured.
