Nazi airmen last week bombed the Adriatic island of Vis (Lissa), which, according to their home radio, is “an operations base for 1,500 American Rangers and British Commandos.” That there might be some truth in this enemy assertion was suggested when the Allies reported that specially trained U.S. and British combat troops—along with gunnery experts and engineers—are now operating with the Partisans in the Dalmatian coastal zone. Furthermore it was announced that the Allied troops had raided Solta Island, destroying Nazi installations, capturing 111 prisoners.
These bits of information suggested that the Allies are beginning to give real aid to Tito’s Partisans.
