AFRIKA KORPS
PRACTICALLY DESTROYED. CASUALTIES AND OTHER LOSSES. LONDON, January 24. “Since October 23 General Montgomery’s army has practically destroyed the Afrika Korps,” says the Cairo correspondent of “The Times.” “It has inflicted 80,000 casualties on the enemy, and destroyed or captured 500 tanks, 1000 pieces of artillery, and several thousand transport vehicles. The Afrika Korps would not have reached Libya at all if the deluge of rain early in November had not slowed our advance.”
