Berlin, Mar, 2.
German troops concentrated in Craiova, are reported to be proceeding southward toward the Greek-Bulgarian frontier along the Struma River valley, after passing through Sofia.
Official announcement that Nazi troops had entered Bulgaria was made at 9.30 o'clock tonight, although troops began moving in as soon as Bulgaria had adhered to the Tripartite Pact at 145 yesterday afternoon.
The-line of advance, as well as the character and number of troops, was undisclosed, but it was recalled that Germany had been steadily sending mechanized troops into Rumania since January. A portion of these troops were understood to have been concentrated in the Craiova area ready io march into Bulgaria at a moment's notice.
The Struma river flows into western Bulgaria almost parallel with the Yugoslav frontier with its outlet in the Gulf of Rendina, east of Salonika in Greece—Domei.
