Italy May Play Valuable Part Stimson Says
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson stated Italy’s war declaration against Germany could influence the war but immediate results were uncertain. He noted much of the Italian navy has joined the Allies while much of the army remains under German control, with several units resisting or joining Germans. Civilians aid and sabotage hinder the Nazis, and the King and Badoglio urged renewed effort to expel Nazi troops. Stimson also cited rains delaying Italian ground operations as the 5th and 8th armies advance through difficult terrain. He predicted British control of Azores would aid anti-submarine work but harbors and airfields must be improved first.
