Still Rolling Forward
Allied tank columns are still rolling forward rapidly. The break through to the Weser river has been built up and forces are proceeding up and down the valley.
British and American forces, approaching separately, are now within 10 miles of Bremen and 7 miles of Hanover. Some of Montgomery’s famous “ desert rats ” form one spearhead directed at Bremen. •
The German view of Monty’s drive is that it is aimed at Hamburg and Lubeck with the purpose of cutting off the Nazi forces in Denmark.
The escape corridor from Holland has narrowed to about 10 miles with the Germans putting up very stiff and fanatical resistance. A Guards regiment is fighting one of the hardest battles on the Western Front. Zutphen is the centre of one stubborn struggle. General Patch, driving on to Nuremburg has freed two prisoner-of-war camps containing some 9,000 prisoners.
