VICTORY IN THE DESERT: SMILING SCOTTIES IN 8TH ARMY’S VICTORIOUS DRIVE
Picture shows: A smiling team of battle-scarred Scotsmen with their Bren carrier—taking
part in the 8th Army’s triumphant desert offensive which has taken them across Egypt and
far into Libya in pursuit of Rommel’s battered and fleeing forces.

According to reliable infor-
mation from Rumania, 250,000
Rumanians have been killed or
permanently disabled on the
Russian front. The entire male
rural population has been draft-
ed either for service in Russia
or on the Hungarian border, or
for industrial work; today no
male above 17 or below 60 years
of age is found in any Rumanian
village.
The dismay caused by this
state of affairs has been intensi-
fied by ceaseless German de-
«
mands, the climax of which was
reached during Funk’s visit last
September, which aimed at
nothing less than to reduce Ru-
mania virtually to the position
of an occupied country. Anton-
escu, realizing how popular dis-
content was swelling, did try to
resist those demands, but the
Germans put the screw on him
by threatening to reinstate the
Iron Guards in power.
In fact, many Iron Guards are
filtering through into Rumania
under German patronage, and
their appearance and increasing
activities in the most recent de-
velopment are having a terri-
fying effect on the Government
and the Rumanian people; for
that reason many opponents of
Antonescu are supporting him
out of sheer terror of the Iron
Guards.

record their solidarity in this
matter.
