 GERMAN AIR FORCE
 
      The German Messerschmidts 110 have suffered such severe losses 
      both in RUSSIA and LIBYA that two Gruppen (about 60 aircraft) 
      of these twin-engined fighters are believed to have been disbanded 
      in order to keep other units up to strength.

GERMAN WOOL SHORTAGE
 
      A German offer was made to TURKEY of 30 locomotives and of rolling 
      stock including tank wagons in exchange for woollen blankets. 
      The Turks refused. An increasing proportion of substitute materials 
      is being used in uniforms. The most recent uniform examined contained 
      35 per cent of synthetic fibre (the highest proportion yet found) 
      and was of poor quality.
