The tart that the Allies took the

Turk- and has correspondingly low
ered German military prestige.
The Turks expect to see an An
glo-American invasion of Kurope. at
least partly through the Mediterran

is whether the blow will fall in the
eastern Mediterranean on Turkey's
doorstep or in the central area.
