In occupied Germany in 1949, American military officer Jefferson Pike (James Garner) wakes up in a U. S. Army hospital with no memory of the previous five years. A kindly military psychiatrist (Rod Taylor) and his coolly detached nurse (Eva Marie Saint) draw out Pike's last clear memories, which are of General Eisenhower's final briefing for the Normandy invasion in June 1944. Soon, Pike realizes that his doctor and nurse are not who they claim to be, and that he is in great danger. …

The Quake struck 34km (21 miles) north-west of the capital, Tirana, as People slept in their beds during the Early Hours .

More Than 45 People have been pulled from the rubble and Prime Minister Edi Rama has promised that rescuers will "continue to search patiently and thoroughly to the end". He said All those affected would be sheltered in hotels until the government rebuilds their homes.

A Day of mourning is being observed in Albania and neighbouring Kosovo.

Where is The Rescue work focused?

Tuesday's quake caused considerable damage in Thumane and Durres, where entire blocks of flats collapsed. Local media report that at least 20 People are buried under the rubble.

Teams from Italy, Greece, Romania, France, Switzerland, Turkey, Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Israel are helping with The Search efforts.

Italian firefighters said they were working "relentlessly" at The Site of a collapsed four-storey building in the Knet district of Durres, where six People are reported missing.

The largest deployment has come from the Kosovo Security Forces (KSF). Pictures show a large column of KSF vehicles arriving. The troops are specially trained to help with Natural Disasters .

Kosovo has also sent police to Albania to help maintain law and order.

In Thumane, rescuers are combing the rubble of a five-storey building.

And in Durres, two three-year-old Twin Sisters are at the centre of one rescue effort - they are part of an extended family with many members missing.

Hundreds of People spent The Night in tents or cars, fearing another tremor.

In Durres, a woman called Bukuri Morina and her family of 10 joined thousands of others to spend The Night at the football stadium.

"We are afraid to go back to our apartment," She Said . "There are cracks All over and we are afraid that we will have the same destiny as People in Thumane. "

All festivities coinciding with Albania's Independence Day on Thursday have been cancelled.

The government has introduced a state of Emergency - enabling more funds and security - in the worst affected areas.

Three members of the Gregu family Perished in Thumane. Pellumb and Celike Gregu's bodies were recovered early on Wednesday, hours after their son, Saimir, died in hospital.

Are earthquakes common in Albania?

The Balkans is in an area prone to seismic activity, lying close to a Fault Line between the Eurasian and African tectonic plates. Albania sits on a smaller, Adriatic tectonic plate.

Tuesday's quake was Albania's worst for decades.

In April 1979, a magnitude-6. 9 quake hit Albania and northern neighbour Montenegro, leaving 136 dead and More Than 1,000 injured.

That was described as The Strongest ever recorded in the Balkans, more powerful than a 6. 1 magnitude earthquake In July 1963 that killed More Than 1,000 People in the Yugoslav republic of Macedonia.

Three-quarters of the capital Skopje was destroyed and 200,000 People left homeless.
