World Battlefronts: BATTLE OF AFRICA: Predictions
General Henri Honoré Giraud, the Allies' High Commissioner of North Africa, predicted last week that the Tunisian campaign will end this month.
> Vice Admiral Emile Henri Muselier, who spent two years preparing the defenses of Bizerte, estimated in London that the city would fall by May 25. Tunis, he thought, should fall by May 15.
> In a Tunisian town, American soldiers who could speak Italian heckled a batch of Italian prisoners. Finally, one Italian could contain himself no longer. "All right, laugh," he said, "but we're going to America. You're only going to Italy."
