Victory In
Africa Most
In History
Most Complete and
Decisive Ever Won;
All Organized Resis
tance Has Ceased
Allied Headquarters in North
Africa. May KJ—(Al')—Allied
mopping up parties hunted the
last rajrjred remnants of Hit
ler's African armies in Tunisia
today to round out a victory
which Generald Kir Harold Al
exander said was "one of the
most complete and decisive in
history."
A military spokesman esti
mated that the prisoners would
total near 175.000 when the last
of the hold-out detachments
were rounded up in the offen
sive launched May •">.
All organized resistance had ended.
The Allied ail* force, with 110 more
targets in North Africa, moved its
aerial offensive across the Mediter
ranean.
German and Italian armies were
crushed and their commander-in
chief. Colonel General von Avnim,
was among the 150,0011 captives al
ready counted.
Lieutenant General Andeison.
of the British First Army, re
ceived Von Arnim yesterday in
his headquarters tent after the
German, refusing to accept terms
of unconditional surrender. w.is
driven nearly 100 miles by au
tomobile for an interview.
Illustrating the Allied dominance,
the Briton told war correspondents:
"•The situation is such that if Von
Arnim won't .sign the terms it won't
matter anyhow."
Von Arnim was cornereJ by the
fourth Indian division midway be
tween Tunis and Enfidaville. and on
the approaches to the C'ap Ran pen
insula. He sent out env oys under .i
white ling and then surrend<.-:-e.'I. but
declined to sign the term.-. These
were that the enemy cease destruc
tion of war materials, turn »v?r wea

mine fields and assist m clearing
