Tbese civilians were ordered by the government not to clog the roads by wild flight, but to die on their thresholds if necessary.

And there they died. At no time in nine days wandering did I see masses of refugees fleeing bombed towns. The civilians did their part but the military did not have a chance. For almost from the first hour that the Germans attached, the army was without communication. One division did not even know what the one next to it was dO' lng.

Individually, the Serbian army fought with great bravery, and inflicted heavy losses on the Germans. In one days attack thb military reported the destruction of 200 German tanks. But as the Germans drove their wedges into the country, the fighting became hopeless. I say the Serbian army fought because In traveling about I have seen scores of Croatian deserters. And in the midst of the fighting officials said the Croats had revolted In the north.

I saw In Belgrade the morning the Germans attacked. I heard the sirens and the roar of the bombing planes, but the people who did not know the nation was at war stood in the streets and did not take shelter but that there were enought shelters even If they wanted to do so. It was a massacre. Bombs fell by the hundreds on helpless civilians started huge fires and the city was covered with a pall of smoke. to, SHELL-GAME- Big British guns In 1,1 by an desert surrounding Derna pour shells into its outlying defenses, preparing to meet thrust of ltalo-Urman units now advancing in North Africa.
