THREAT TO NORTH AFRICA PREPARATIONS NOTED. SUGGESTIONS OF SOME NEW ADVENTURE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.— Copyright) LONDON, April 6. Air General Student, leader of the German parachute troops ,has joined General Kesselring in joint command of the Axis air operations in the Mediterranean, says the “Daily Express’ ” military correspondent’. This fact, together with the presence on north Mediterranean shores and in North Africa of many hundreds of gliders and transport planes, suggests that Germany’s air-borne army is organising a new adventure. General Student personally led his parachute troops in the attacks against Holland, where he was wounded, and also against Crete, where it was claimed that he was the first to jump from a plane.
