Hitler said that this meant the passing of the High Seas Fleet, and that it was now his irrevocable decision to do away with these "useless ships."

The failure to occupy the Eastern Mediterrancan was due to the poor fighting qualities of the Italians and the dif ficu.ties of supplying Rommel'a army, Deenitz said.

He holds that even if hie country had won the Battle of Britain her air force would still have been unable to combat the Royal Navy with amali calibre bombs then in use,

The loss of Antwerp, with its undamaged port installa tions, he, considers "a strategic setback of grave consequences."
