operations by American bombers
working two ways from Britain and
italy. The American planes made
five main attacks: On Augsburg,
Regensburg Gone attack from Eng
land and one from 1taly), Stuttgart
and Furth. All are important CEN
ters of production, including air.
planes or essential parts, ball bear
ings for planes, and assembly
plants.
1t was impossible to estimate the
damage done in seven days of bomb
ing during which approximately
1000 tons were dropped on select
ed targets from west to east and
north to south Of Germany, includ-
ing Austria.
In addition to Fastening the end
of the Luftwaffe by destroying its
ability to reproduce itself, Its actual
present front line strength was con-
siderably depleted. The American
score alone was around $40 planes
for six days, an average Of better
than 100 a day.
Bag 142 Planes
Yesterdays American bag, it was
announced, was 142 planes.
Such an average would mean the
defeat of Germany in the air within
| reasonable measure Of time II 1t
could be sustained, especially in
view Of the Gripping Of production
being carried out simultaneously
However, weather and other physi
cal factors pertaining to personnel
and the staging Of large-scale raids
may be expected to compel inter-
mittent lulls in the intensity Of the
offensive.
In Russia, the newest threat to
the Germans developed on the
White Russian front, where the Red
Army broke through In the area
east of Bobruisk and threatened
Minsk, Of which 1t Is an outpost.
The Russians cracked the German
lines along 31-n1ile sector. The
Germans threw in reinforcements
but failed so far to halt the advance.
The Russians likewise continued
their steady march towards Pskov
in the Baltic region.
In Italy. the Allied beachhead
forces beat back German thrustS
which were regarded as a likely pre-
Jude as third-and probably final
attempt to smash the beachhead.
Despite heavy losses in men and
material, the Germans still were
strong, with an estimated 100000
men.
In the Pacific. the current prob
lem was the whereabouts Of the
Japanese feet, which was not In ev-
idence in the American carrier
plane assault on the Marianas and
Guam, former American possession.
In the Marianas. the task force shot
down 1876 Japanese planes with the
loss Of only six Of their own. Minor
Japanese shipping also was hit.
In the southwest Pacific, the 21st
consecutive bombing Of Rabaul,
Japanese base on New Britain, was
announced. Other American bomb
ers and warships hit targets over a
wide area In the Bismarck archi..
pelago and on New Guinea.

frustrated by patrol craft.
Allied fighters and fighter-bom
ers continued their patrols over the
beachhead zone and attacked troop
concentrations, an air communique
reported. But bad weather grounded
most of the tactical flying over the
battlefronts.
Rain and wet snow fell all day
yesterday in southern italy, making
quagmire of the beachhead and
the roads to Casino, and adding to
the seven-inch snow fall which all
ready covered the mountain line
stretching from the ruins Of the
Monte Casino Monastery estward
across Italy's chilly Appenine back
bone.
French, Polish and British troops
holding mountain positions on the
main front made good use Of white
camouflage slipovers, covering their
uniforms, to prevent silhouetting
themselves against the snow. They
also used whatever skis they could
find.
