Germans Retreat So Fast
HeyLeaue Dead On Field

already sliced off and it. seems
unlikely that the Nazis would
be able to resist the steel jaws
that We are closing upon them.
This does not look like an
orderly withdrawal. The bodies
Of Germans litter the country

Bayeux. The men who manned

the fight in the first round and
our deep penetration inland fol-
lowed. Coastal defenses which
examined lacked method in
construction as well as con-
tinuity. They also sorely need
ed guns of adequate caliber.
Those Germans who could
get away simply took to their
heels.
Someone remarked: who
would ever believe that the Sec

vers on Salisbury plain in
peacetime?"
Everyone was ask &:
''Whe-e is the Luftwaffe?"
