allied forces from the foot hold they have obtained in the islands of the aegean sea is an index to the importance the nazis attach to k4eplng their hold on the balkans small british forces landed on four aegean isl in septemb r kos samoa leroa and syml taking ad vantage of the confusion caused in the axis camp by the capitulation of italy since then the germans have cap- lured kos and syml and they have launched a determined attack on leros the importance of these aegean islands in german strategy is not hard to evaluate as long as crete aiuj the smaller greek and italian islands in the aegean are in german hands an allied thrust pointed from the middle east into the balkans at salonika for instance u out of the question german ulnady has her hands full keeping the turbulent balkan count- riesunder control and she is in no position to deal wltht a full scale allied offenlvln that region for the allies on the other hand a thrust into southeastern furope from the aegean may be part of the grand strategy plan designed to crush germany plneers movement been it could form n vast pincers move against the balkans with russia providing the other arm of the squeeze in her drive across the uk raine towards rumania the prospect of allied forces driv ing towards a union with the rus sian armies in the balkans must he enough io give hitler nightmans if he has time to think of it amid his other worries at anv rate the anx iety of the gcrmnuu to maintain tlulr hold on the aejim stepping stones to the bnlknna shows how much they fear the consequence of nn allied invasion in that quarter with guirllln fords already batt ling the itul in greece yogoslnvla and albania with otlur guerillas u- tlve against the governments of bul garia and hungary and with ru mania in n state of semlpanlc as the russians approach her borders from the east germany evidently cannot afford any more trouble in that quar ter of europe with southern italy in allied hands another avenue of approach for n fresh breach in hitlers fortress europe would be across the adriatic into albania or yugoslavia a thrust in this direction would en able the allies to take advantage of the patriot forces fighting in those countries and would compel the ger mans to divert more- troops from other fronts to meet the new threat even if the germans drive the al lies out of their remaining aegean footholds the prospect will not be much brighter for hitler and his co horts the danger will not only have been postponed not eliminated pound jap base on the other side of the world the japanese position in the south pa cific also is none too bright in the superb support of tho allied invasion of bougainville in the solomons on american south pacific carrier fleet in itu latest foray around rabaul japans
