The International News Office, Goebbels's latest propaganda agency, predicts an early Allied attack in the Western Desert. It says A.xis military circles are satisfied that General Sir H. Alexander is about to launch an offensive before the rainy period sets, in, converting the Qattara depression into an insurmountable quagmire. The German air force in the Mediterranean zone has been considerably' strengthened and air activity, on both sides of the African front has increased to a remarkable extent. German reconnaissances have seen strong Allied motorised columns ready behind the south wing of the British El Alamein front and also in the Qattara depression. Allied artillery fire is increasing in the central and northern fronts, while their air force is more frequently in the skies over the battlefield and in great force.
