Force
bombers
operated
over
Hanover
last
night,
dropping
some
bombs
in
industrial
areas
of
the
city,
the

Ministry
announced.
All
British

returned
safely.

Sl;ies

Speculation
was
divided
as
to
whether
the
reason
for
the
absence
of
the
Nazis
was
misty
weather
over

bases
or
a
rest-up
prior
to
a
mass

with
all
resources
against
Great

Two

were
brought
down
over

today
that

had
been
taken
in
last
week's

and
1100
in

Graziani,
Italian
commander-in-chief
may

his
last
stand.

already
reported
to
be
smashing
their
way
into
Derna,
next
Italian
base
port
on
the
Mediterranean
west
of
Captured
Tobruk.
As
only
a
small
Italian
garrison
is
believed
left
at
Derna,
it
should
soon
fall.
Italian
forces
are
withdrawing
towards
Bengazi.
British
forces
are
also
thrusting
deeper
into
Italian
Somaliland
and
Ethiopia
as
