rail junction was the most spark
ling of a series of successes hewed
out of the German positions across
Italy.
Farther inland the American
flank of the Fifth army continued
slow but steady progress in the face
of stiff German resistance in the
hills along the upper course of the
Volturno
Opposition also was tough on the
British Eighth army front from
the Apennine spine to the Adriatic.
There Gen. Sir Bernard l.. Mont
gomery had forced the Trigno river
in an offensive launched on the
anniversary of the battle of El Ala
mein, where the Eighth began the
march now continuing up the Ital-
| ian boot. =
Montgomery expanded his bridge
head across the Trigno on the
coastal plain in an offensive which
should be regarded as curtain
raiser rather than the main event.
The reference was not amplified,
but appeared to hint broadly at
some action brewing on a grand
scale by the Eighth army, which
would capitalize on the technically
achieved by-paSsing of Rene in a
possible effort to squeeze out the
Nazis without frontal assault on
the eternal city.
LIKE CATANIA
With the British flank of the
Fifth army against towering MaSsico
ridge, and the Americans pushing
forward on the upper reaches of
the Volturno, the situation was
likened to that at Catania in Sicily,
where the Eighth army heel line
for weeks while the Americans and
Canadians wheeled around to flank
the strong German defensive posi-
tionS.
The loss of Sparanise will require
the Germans to pull back north
of the Volturno between that town
and the sea, or risk being cut off
by an American or British thrust
from either flank.
The Importance which the Ger
mans attached to Sparanise was
indicated by the vigor with which
they struck back. Four counter
attacks around Sparanise and Pig
natoro to the east were beaten
down, and finally the Nazis with
drew.
An official spokesman described
Sparanize, 95 miles south of Rome,
as very important in a vital area"
| Only five miles to the north lies
the new German Mondragone- -Ven-
afro defense line.
The Germans threw particularly
heavy forces against the Fifth army
at SparaniSe, l~-ere the Allies cut
flanked German troops holding q
canal near the west coast, but were
thrown back four times and then
retired.
Medium and light bombers and
fighter-bombers continued their at
tacks on railway and road targets
in the enemy rear, disrupting move
ment of supplies and reinforce
ments.
Bridges, roads and railway tar
gets were hit near Terni in central
Italy, in the formia and Minturno
areas and near Orvieto, north of
Rome. A number of enemy vehicles
were destroyed on the east coast
