This file includes the following reports on Southern Europe: that the 26th Panzer Division in Italy was expecting an Allied attack against it on January 17; that the Germans decide against using parachutists in the operation against Vis Island in the Dalmatians, because there are insufficient troops available to have a permanent military presence there; and that Hitler orders an enquiry into large shipping losses during an Allied air raid against Piraeus on January 11; on the Russian Front: that the Germans are in great trouble on the Dnieper Front on January 17, it being impossible for any more troops to be withdrawn from the area; slight German advances are reported between Uman and Vinnitsa; and of Russian penetration just to the west of Kirovograd, on January 17.
