May Make Bid for Middle East Air Control
War analysis notes Rommel's push toward Sevastopol and the Caucasus as Britain strengthens Egypt defense. It cites Egypt's 40 000 trained troops and 100 000 Allied guardsmen, the Libyan front, and the risk of a major air offensive from Hitler to support Rommel. A Greek submarine report suggests Nazi air capacity in Greece could threaten Middle East operations and Tobruk, with reinforcements potentially speeding German advance.
