thirty-eight days after the Allied
landings--- was marked by the following
special communiqué issued from Allied
H.Q. last night :---
"American troops have captured
Messina. Some artillery fire
is being directed from Sicily on to
the Italian mainland."
Messina was heavily shelled before
the Americans entered the city. They
were closely followed by the British,
and, with contact achieved between the
Seventh and Eighth Armies, all Axis
resistance was at an end.
Large numbers of prisoners and
materials are reported to have been
captured. The Axis claim to have
removed all their heavy equipment.
The Germans are shelling Messina
from the mainland. The Americans
rushed up their heaviest guns to reply to
the pounding.
A Rome Radio report picked up
last night said that a large Allied invasion
fleet has been sighted off Catania.
Invasion barges were laden with troops
and tanks.
