In a chilling forecast, US Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox predicted that Rome would suffer the same fate as Naples, if the Germans were forced to abandon the city. Knox, speaking at a Navy Day dinner in Philadelphia, painted a grim picture of the despoiled city, warning that the Germans, in his words, ‘are still a bunch of Huns.’ The Secretary’s dire prediction came after his recent trip to the Mediterranean, where he witnessed the ruins of Naples firsthand.
