specific advances. 1t asserted, in
almost the same words employed
yesterday and the day before, that
operations ARE progressing sue
cessfully, according to PLAN
Thus far, the Germans have
made small advances in three
sectors - along the Norman
coast, where they have pushed
ahead about IL miles to the
river Bresle; south of Peronne,
still held by the French, where
infiltration has occurred to-
ward Nesle, and northeast Of
scissors, where the Germans
gained a foothold on the DOM
mating ridge of Chemin des
Danes.
To the east, at the right angle
corner where the flexible Weygand
line joins the fixed Notifications of
the Maginot line, the Germans
opened up intensive artillery bar
RACES at several points, including
several easements of the Maginot
itself.
The German foothold on the
Chemin des Danes ridge, scene
during the World war of
bloody losses by the French,
was won with a huge force OF
tanks estimated as high as
1000. The Germans were suf-
fering heavy losses. French
sources claimed the destruction
of 400 or more German tanks
since opening of the three
day old offensive.
In Berlin it was said the alb
sence of specific claims by the high
command was of no significance,
and was customary in the opening
phase of such a vast operation.
