The War Day
AFK1CAN KKOXT:
Strategic aspects of the battle for control of
Africa have changed somewhat in the past 24
hours in that the immediate (uestion to lie
settled is one of air power and not simply a
matter of time before axis forces would be
driven into the sea or forced to surrender, as
was earlier believed.
Axis forces at present appear to have a slight
edge in air superiority as indicated by bomb
ing raids over allied held Algeria last night;
American and British ground forces gained
slightly in their push toward Tunis and Bizertc,
but the balance of air power must be swung
to the allies before nn all-out ground assault
can be launched.
Chief problem of the allies now is to prevent
Hitler from bringing more planes, tanks, and
guns acros the natural stepping-tones of Italy,
Sardinia, and Sicily to axis-held ports. How
long the Germans can produce supplies to be
sent over tliis line remains to be seen, but until
that line is broken, the Tunisian conflict will
center around air activity.
It now appears that Rommel's armies will con
tinue their westward withdrawal beyond El
Aghelia, the natural defense position southwest
of Bengasi. If enemy reports that the allies
have made no break-through on the Tunis-Bizertc-Tripoli
defense line are true, it seems
logical that the eastern and western enemy
armies would be united.
FKANCK
No longer a question is Dakar, reported late
yesterday under allied control. Since Harlan's
order to the armies defending that western
French outpost have been heeded the allies
now control a very valuable outlet to the At
lantic, excellent facilities for basing of planes
and ships, and all of Africa except Tunisia and
coastal Libya.
Hl'LAN FKONT
Faced with choosing between isolation and
withdrawal, axis armies around Stalingrad are
stubbornly withdrawing to the west of the city
at heavy cost. Red sources claimed penetrations
as deep as 125 miles west of the city. No at
tempt is being made to establish defensive posi
tions other than those necessary for a holding
attack which would keep (ten. Von Hoth's cor
ridor of escape open until his forces have
crossed the Don.
