The British plan apparently is to shatter Mussolini's vaunted African empire as a preliminary to forcing Italy out of the war. As an alternative, Hitler might have to come fully to the rescue of his axis partner.

That would force him into 'war on two fronts, a prospect which he is known to regard with distaste. At this writing, it does not seem likely that Mussolini's forces can hold out in either North or East Africa without outside aid, or more powerful reinforcements than the Italians are likely to be able to get through the British naval cordon across the Eastern Mediterranean. Hitler has sent dive bombers. The British would like nothing better than for him to attempt to send land forces into the desert traps across the Mediterranean. The Italian forces are- heavily handicapped by the lack of communications and supply.

German forces, if they hazarded an African adventure, would be in the same position, as long as the British navy controls the Eastern Mediterranean. Unless Hitler's dive bombers are able to cripple the British naval and air forces, the position is not likely to change and Hitler is stymied. The British are attacking on three In the north the British opened their final assault on Tobruk, the Italian base on the northeastern coast of Libya. Farther east, they are driving in the Kassala region of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan against Eritrea.

Jan Cmuts, premier and head of the South African armed forces, said in a recent speech that the unions job is to help drive the Italians out of Africa. The Italians in Libya are on the run.
