SPOTTERS
~-------
Correspondents with the Invasion Forces are
loud in praise of the lads who fly small planes,
of
which we have not beard much up to now.
Such planes
as Aeronicas and Cubs, used for spotting; for flying
over the front lines, picking out German batteries and
defense pockets.
These Aeronicas and Cubs are so light
that they can land and take
off
on
s ■ all
plots
of
grass, and don't need special air fields.
The lads who fly
the ■
say they do not see much
of the enemy, because the Razi hides his gunposition
too well, even five or six feet below the surface.
So
the only way the spctters can detect the• is by watcbin
for the
■ uzzle
bursts, which they then report to the
Allied artillerymen and to gun crews aboard nearby
war-
ships.
GERERALS
--------
The two top German generals in the lest are
of
diffeeent opinions as to what should be the Hazi
strategy of defense.
~owe
hear.
~ut naturally this
can only be
ru ■ or.
The story is that MarshAll Von
Runetedt and field Marshall
Ro ■mel
have
disagreed
violently.
Von Rundstedt, the East Elbing Yunker
aristocrat, ••• in favor of a fluid defense, hoping to
let the Allies l•nd and then
a ■ aab the ■•
Ro ■ mel,
the
out and out Bitlerite, the
■ an
who bas climbed his way
up
fro ■
his beginaiogs
as a
lazi
street ruffian, wantin
to throw everything into a static defense on the coast
and prevent the Allies from landing at all.
Evidently, Rommel won the argument, and used all
the available mar
.
power and 11aterial to build up what
he hoped would be an impregnable coastal defense.
The
Ro ■ mel
plan failed,and the Allies broke through those
coastal defenses on the beaches of Normandy.

ITALY
------
In Italy, the Allied Armies under Sir Harold
Alexander are more than matching the success
of
the
Invasion forces in Normand.
When last heard, from
General
C~
ark's Fifth Army was fifty-nine miles North-
I
west
of Rome and still forging ahead,
As for the
British Eighth under General Sir Oliver Leese, they
have captured t•o more places
.
Northeast of the Eterna
City; and the Bew Zealanders pushing through the diffi
cult mountainous country ~n the center, have occupied
Avezzano.
The Eighth bas swept the country south of
the
Pescaro
River entirely clean of Get-mans, and there
1
are reports
· hth has crossed the River.
In short, fro: the shores of the
l'
yrrhenean Se
to the Adriatic, the Germans are on the move - back-
wards,
and correspondents report that in some sectors
the retreat has become a rout.
The Allies have comple-
tely destroyed the German Fourteenth Army, barring
scattered remnants described as being engaged
principa-
lly in stealing each other's transport, so
g
reat is
their hurry to get
away
from the advancing Allies.
That Fourteenth Aray, com
m
anded by the hi
g
h, well born
General Von MacaeLsen, once we are told, numbered a
hundred-and-fifty-thousand veteran soldiers.
And now
it has ceased to exist as a fighting force.
Germa.n prisoners from that Tenth
Ar ■y
have told
their British cap ors that the German Line is in
state
of
chaoa.
Of
fource that may not be any too reliable
But it
seems
to be confi~med by the fact that
some
of
these prisoners
were
carrying official
pasees
from whi
read:
•The bearer
of
this pass is author.zed to
proceed eitheralone or in small groups to the
assembly
area
near Florence.
The Allied advance guard is no•
less than eighty-eight miles
away
froa Florence.
lhic~
seems
to indicate that the Germans have decided to
aakt
their next determined stand along the line of the Arno
River.
