Yanks link up
The American Ist and 3rd armies have linked up, and the
first airfield east of the Rhine is now being used by the Allies. One spearhead of General Patton’s army is 59 miles east of the Rhine and another is 56 miles from the river. Gen. Patton controls a 35 mile stretch of the river. American troops are in the heart of Frankfurt and have overrun the airfield which is the second largest in Germany.
