Show German Activity Hints Invasion Peril Fades i LONDON, Jan. 29 WV-A British Brit-ish military authority said Wednesday Wed-nesday that German Infiltration Into Rumania and Bulgaria and air aid to Italy had become so extensive that "the very real danger" of invasion of Britain may be averted. This authority asserted that German mechanics and technical troops in civilian drew were preparing pre-paring air fields in Bulgaria and "there are eight to 10 German divisions In Rumania." The German mechanized division divi-sion numbers 11.000 and the infantry in-fantry division 15,000. This source expressed the opinion opin-ion that these preparations might mean a German drive southward to Salonika, eastern Greece, thus Isolating the Greek army fighting fight-ing the Italians in Albania. This concentration, plus diversion diver-sion to Italian soil of strong units of the air force, "which are close to the route through the Mediterranean Mediter-ranean for large convoys of our sea forces," may well avert the longcontemplated Invasion of Britain, he said. "But air fields established In France make it certain that the Germans could shift fighters back -to the coast for attack on this country whenever the high command com-mand felt the danger in the Mediterranean had abated," he addnd. i |
