IL was strongly fortified, and
was known as the military ter
ritory of Belfort.
1t may be Eisenhower's stra-
tegic plan to invade Germany
through this southern passage
way. The push of American
armies through Belfort would
bring them into Upper Alsace
and to the middle course of the
Rhine River. This would be the
real invasion of Germany. Posi-
bly, the decisive battle in Ger

fought on this line of invasion.

and the Rhone. In this large
part of France there still remain
the German 1st and 10Th armies.
Supposedly they were drawn
upon to reinforce the German
struggle in Normandy. There is
no report of their present
strength. The task of contain
ing and attacking them might be
left TO the French and their
newly organized armies. To
make possible this operation
may be the purpose behind the
Allied move toward the great
