YUGOSLAVS IN ITALY
THREATENING GERMAN REAR NAZIS CLAIM CAPTURE OF SPLIT. j AND OCCUPATION OF CORFU. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) LONDON, September 28. Yugoslav partisans who have driven into northern Italy are threatening the German rear in Italy. The partisan forces, after crossing the frontier, are reported to have engaged in heavy fighting near the ports of Trieste and Fiume. Allied officers attached to the partisan forces are acting as advisers. Today’s German communique states that strong bands in north-eastern Italy and Dalmatia have been encircled and are being wiped out. The communique claims that German troops yesterday stormed and captured Split. It also claims that German battle units landed on Corfu Island yesterday, after Badoglio troops occupying the island had rejected an ultimatum calling on them to surrender. German troops, supported by air and naval units, broke resistance, took prisoner several thousand Italians and quickly occupied the whole island.
