If they had unrated All those Brand new big guns which i saw in their warehouses strategically positioned these guns All around the towns outer rim they could have Delayon our push for Days maybe weeks. Instead 20 american soldiers piled into three jeeps and a captured German Hal track. Arxie took this important table top City perched on the plateau of the highest a Hill in the heart of Sicily. These 20 were a Small recon party sent up ahead to smell out the enemy and race Back and report. They went ahead slowly Well a. Remembering several Days before when outside r of Mazzarino our advancing infantry bumped into two Loeen big Jerry tar is which had shuffled out of nowhere. Those tanks stalled us until our Long Toms knocked out 10 of them Breed. And when these people jabber to one another they wave their hands like Flea bitten men keys. The aug ence was almost As interesting As the show. Like Rome All roads led to Enna. From Enna to Caltanissetta is a contiguous twist of Road Over a Long series of soft sloping Hills. Packs of War frightened people were streaming along the Road trudging Back to their towns. Wealthier sicilians Rode Back in circus decorated carts driven by fancy plumed horses. Everybody saluted us or stuck up the along with the people came a Sti etched out Convoy of our heavy artillery ready to help punch a Hole to the coast so that other divisions could Cut East and hit the is on the flank a while the British kept pushing from the South. Everywhere the choking thick White alkaline dust covered the scene like Talcum powder after a Quick shave. But the recon Section advanced Edl top a nth Coll As far As they a 12 Miles twice thought they a go. They Wen right into Enna without finn a single shot. They went in to find the people clapping and cheering and waving White sheets. Then from amp a sides 2s0 italian and so Ger Hurt in shooting mans rushed forwards Cleveland John s.

If As some observers have suggested it was the Hope of the a amp Doglio government to keep fascists in the background Only As Long As Italy hoped for peace the speech effectively squashed the idea for the prime minister in the name of the United nations made it Clear that there would of no negotiations offy unconditional surrender or continued War. Institutions. These they can have the Choice is in their hands and what is the alternative. Neither the intentions nor the popularity of the new government could be judged under the censorship curtain. Neutral sources. Reported that the resignation of Mussolini had brought Cut enthusiastic demonstrations in italian cities and the Berlin radio declared that a there had been a a hour and a half demonstration sunday night in St. Peters Square in Rome. Large crowds cheered the Pope. This item seemed to suggest that the italians were looking to the Vatican rather than the new gov the germans naturally desire that Italy shall become a Battle ground a preliminary Battleground and that by italian suffering the ravages of War Shah be kept As far away As possible and As Long As possible from the German fatherland. If the trait a government and people choose that the a germans ought to have their say there is no Choice left to us. We shall continue to make War in Italy in every Quarter. The decision by the italian government and people to continue under the German Yoke will not affect seriously the general course of the War still less flu it alter its ultimate results. The Only consequence will be that in the next few months Italy Grill be seared and scarred and blackened from one end to the other. Eminent in the Tuimal Palace in of need.

Enna which used to be a favorite pre War tourist King Center was a few first rate hotels with Baths big rooms and sit Down toilets. Men and women walking the streets wore clothes instead of rags.

Ana unofficial comment was notably restrained. German newspapers were a Ore cautious in commenting on the meaning of Mussolini s overthrow than the press in Allied countries had been. While Declar ing that h ducks resignation was no Surprise the German press took the significant View that it was too Early to predict what would happen in Italy next. I know Little or nothing of the new government. However i must utter a word of caution. We do not know what is going to happen in Italy and now that Mussolini is gone and once fascist Power is certainly and irretrievably broken we should be foolish to deprive ourselves of any Means of to general conclusion with the italian nation. It would be a grave mistake when italian affairs Are in this flexible fluid a forma Tive condition for thy rescuing Powers of Britain and the United Down the whole Structure and the pression of the italian state.

The end of Mussolini a Long and severe reign Over the Rallan people undoubtedly Marks the close of an epoch in the life of Italy. The Keystone of the fascist Arch has crumbled we certainly do not seek to abuse the italian life to a condition of chaos and anarchy and find ourselves without any authority with whom to Deal we must be careful not to get ourselves into the kind of position into which the germans have blundered to so Many countries namely of having to Down administer in detail Day by Day by a system of Gaul Elweis the entire use of a and without attempting to or Mph a that Esy it does not seem unlikely the entire fascist edifice will fall to the ground in ruins if it has not already so far.

We May therefore reasonably expect that very great changes will take place i Italy.

Such a course might Well in practice turn the sense of liberation which it May soon be in our Power to bestow upon the italian people into sullen discontent against us into All our works.

Therefore my advice to the House of common Quot and to Ehy British and to the commonwealths and Empire and to our allies at this juncture May be simply stated we should let the italian to use a homely phase a Stew to their own juice for a bit and heat up the fire to accelerate the process until we obtain from their government or whoever Omemee the Neoe Emry authority an Tod tapes Able requirements we demand for carrying on the War against our prime and capital foe which is not Italy but Germany reds occupy Contant it from Awe 1 the City a Tonga through of the outer a ask Wmk enemy Torti in the Belgorod said Only that soviet troops improved their positions to the of repeated was reported in the donets by Tran Ocean Berton.
