Rome War Update Amid Air Raids And Naval Attacks
Aug 26 dispatch reports Allan submarines torpedoed a large British tanker in the Aanhe region, with a new Alexandria attack by Italian warplanes. British air raids on Italian positions in East Africa killed colonists, wounded soldiers, and hit civilians. The Italian high command cited two destroyers driven off at Bardia, a Tobruk air raid with minor damage, and a bombing attack on British forces near the Sidi Barrani border. Greek frontier mobilization and Swiss protests frame a tense Mediterranean theater as Rome pressures Greek and Albanian environs.
