BRITAIN IN ACTION NOW WITHNAZIS Lull Over Good Friday as Germans Consolidate Croats Yield Zagreb CLIMACTIC STRUGGLE ATHENS, April 12: (CP) Naii Panzer units appeared today to be forcing a climactic struggle in the battle for Greece as the Greek high command announced that German forces were smashing through from Bitolj, Yugoslavia, and had reached the Greek lines in Phlorina, a sector of the west flank, while, on the east flanks the Nazis were said to have penetrated further but without reaching the main defences. London reports said that a British armored car patrol yesterday successfully shot up a German infantry unit unloading Iiiicm in 11,.

The report said that Greek forces in that area were much smaller than that and thousands had been able to withdraw in time. ATHENS, April 12, The British expeditionary force in Greece announces It has established contact since Thursday with the German forces in the vicinity of Fiorina In northern Greece. There are no Immediate Indications as to the outcome at least as far a Allied official reports are concerned although In other quarters it .appeared that the Nazis were still jjdvancing with their heavily mechanized fordesT Both' Greeks aniiYligoSlars Iwfre still fighting valiantly on, however, despite reverses. It was acknowledged today that the German forces had reached Fiorina. There have been heavy snowstorms and ice rains In the mountainous regions where fighting has been going on. Lieut General Sir Maltland-Wil- lChr S son Is in command of the British forces in Greece and they include, besides Imperials, Australians and New Zealanders. A lull developed late Thurscay in the main battle in Greece as the Germans, apparently, endeavoured to consolidate the gains of their first advance before meeting the main Greek army and the British Expeditionary Force in what may be a titanic battle for the control of the Greek peninsula. There are Indications that this great battle may take place in a mountainous Atlas, 33,000, Royal, 8.80c and 7c. country where the highly inechan- Balder, 14.500, Storage, 8.60c and ized forces of the Nazis may not 7c. prove as effectual as they were in J.
