It is authoritatively stated in London that the most serious fighting is at Sedan. The Germans are in possession of a portion of the defensive zone around Sedan. The French held up the advance yesterday and today’s events are unknown. The Maginot Line is not broken or turned, but may be dented. Sedan is not part of the Maginot Line. Heavy fighting is occurring south from Namur, particularly at Dinant. The Allies’ left flank is now resting on the bastion of Antwerp. The line runs south, covering Brussels. The Allies have made contact with the Germans. It is not known whether the heaviest attacks on the whole front from north Belgium to Namur have yet developed.
