YUGOSLAVIA

The greatest guerilla leader of all time, Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia, is waging an all-out campaign as head of 600,000 Partisans. To date half of Yugoslavia is in the hands of the Partisans. Fighting rages on the Bardar and Ibar Valleys in Southern Serbia, the two main communication routes from Serbia to Greece. Indicatory of the rebirth of a nation is the pledge of the Yugoslavian Anti-Fascist Youth Movement now gaining in momentum, a pledge to forever war on foreign dictators from within. Such is the strength of the guerilla warriors that fully six German divisions are at present occupied against the Partisans.
