UNITED KINGDOM: London: Winston Churchill has ordered a military mission, led by a senior British officer to join Tito in his campaign against the Germans in Yugoslavia. After years of being unable to decide whether to back Tito’s partisans or the rival Chetnik army led by General Mihailovich, the British now believe that the former have emerged as the only effective force against the Axis in Yugoslavia.

But although the Chetniks are co-operating with the Italians against Tito’s partisans, the British will continue to drop supplies to them, largely because of pressure from the Yugoslav government in exile.
