Escape Explained
1t is not known how many Ger
mans are still in the trap. The
latest estimate, which is now hours
old, was that $4,000 Germans were
in the salient itself.
One explanation is contained in
a frontline dispatch for the fail

aise-Argentan escape gap. The two
armies were driving toward each
other and had to exercise extreme
care to avoid coming under each
others artillery fire.
The situation in ancient Breton
on the north coast and the port of
ST. Malo is obscure although the
German news Agency DNB said
the Americans have captured the
cities.
