Dept. of State letter, Aug. 10, 1972
By NITHC NARS Date 7-23-75
Following reply has been returned by Marshal Tito
to Field Marshal Alexander. Begins.
I have received and carefully considered the five
points contained in your telegram regarding relations
SERVICE
and areas of operations of Allied Armies and Yugoslav
Army in Istria and Slovene Littoral.
Since our lest meeting and conversation the situation
has changed 80 much in so far a.s units of my Fourth Army
co-operating with Slovene units have with exceptionally
great difficulty and heavy losses broken through German
defensive line running from Fiume to Trieste where street
fighting is going on now. In addition, nearly the whole
of Istria with the exception of Rovigno and several
other towns where street fighting is going on has been
liberated by our troops. In connexion with the above I
wish to give you the following information: In order
to
liberate and round up all enemy troops in
Yugoslavia as quickly as possible I have made following
plan which is already being carried out.
(1) To liberate Istria, Trieste and Monfalcone as far
as Isonzo River and to advance up the River
Isonzo towards Austrian frontier.
(2) In this connexion the area of operations of troops
under my command has been decided, i.e., the line
Isonzo from its mouth - Porto Rozego - Gorizia
-
Tolmino - Tarvisio (Tarbis).
(3) In accordance with our previous agreement I am
prepared that you should use port of Trieste and
Pola a.s well as railway line Trieste - Tarvisio
for supplying your troops in Austria.
(4) I will therefore be grateful if you will give
orders to your troops to get into contact with
my troops on the above mentioned line, where
further details regarding their co-operation
can be agreed on the spot.
(5) I agree that those of my units or Partisan
detachments operating to the West of that line
will come under your Command.
(6) I agree and thank you for your suggestion that
closest contact is necessary between our and
your troops as soon as they meet in order to
co-ordinate their operations against the
common enemy.
(7) In all the above mentioned areas of operations
of my troops our military and civil authorities
will naturally continue to function.
With my respects, J.B.TITO, Marshal of Yugoslavia.
Ends.
