AT A PORT IN NORTHERN ENGLAND, May ?. - Battle-weary Allied troops disclosed they were so short of explosives as they retreated up Gudbrands Valley in central Norway that they used depth charges from warships to blow up bridges behind them to slow the German advance.

 The soldiers said: "If we had more guns, more shells and more planes we would have been there yet"
 Apparently the soldiers did not know of the withdrawal from Nor way until they were almost ready to pile onto homebound ships at An dalsnes.
 f One trooper said: We thought we were just turing the Germans into range of the navy's gun.'
 Another trooper said: We saw six German bombers shot down with rifles at Dombas as the bombers swooped down within 20 feet of the ground '
