NAZI PARACHUTISTS

REGIMENT IN NORTH AFRICA. ACCORDING TO ENEMY PRISONER. (By 'Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, August 20. Reuter’s correspondent on the El Alamein front says that the New Zealanders who advanced after pounding an enemy outpost a few night ago, found it vacated except for a wounded German wearing a Luftwaffe uniform. He claimed to belong to an enemy parachute regiment normally mustering about 2000 men. This is the first occasion such a regiment has been reported from the North Africa front.

Another of our patrols found someenemy interest in the routes leading to the oasis of Mogra, which is one of the desert’s most isolated spots. Rommel apparently is determined not to be outflanked even from the most unlikely direction.
