From: military@att.att.com (Bill Thacker) Thursday, 21 November, 1940 The Greek Army enters Koritza, Albania, capturing some 2000 prisoners and large quantities of equipment, including 135 guns. With a few exceptions, all the invading Italian troops have now been forced back into Albania. In the United States, the Dies Committee reports on subversive activities, including pro-Nazi and communist fifth-column efforts. The report warns, among other things, of German efforts to penetrate South American governments. Australia revises its war budget, devoting 20% of its income to military expenditures. Tax increases are proposed to fund the increased spending. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Bill Thacker military@att.att.com Send submissions for "50 Years Ago" to military-request@att.att.com "It is good to know in these fateful times how widely shared are the ideals of ordered freedom, justice, and security." - King George of England
