ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers, Jan. 31.-American infan-
try and tank teams, surprising
the NaZis with a thrust across
the Rapido River bottom delib-
erately flooded by the Germans
to form a barrier, have achieved
a break through German de-
fenses north of Casino, Allied
headquarters announced today.
While American fighters and
bombers scored a record bag in
Italy in knocking down 63 German
planes in series of f1attening as
saultS yesterday on four enemy air
bases in Northeastern Italy, British
Tommies and American Rangers
with tanks and tank-destroyer
teams fought string of sharp &C
tions along the perimeter Of the
Anzio bridgehead and enlarged their
grip on the strategic wedge 10 or
20 miles below Rome.
The Germans evidently had gained
time to prepare a line of defenses
through the Alban Hills along the
railroad from Rome to Cisterna, 26
miles southwest of the Eternal City,
and the British and Americans were
methodically blasting them out of
haystacks, silos. farm buildings and
villages hastily converted into
camouf1aged pillboxes and forts.
GA Berlin broadcast today said
a strong British-American often
sive had been started from the
bridgehead. Dispatches from the
bridgehead yesterday said the Al
lies had poured six infantry divi-
sions into the wedge, along with
armor and guns.)
Two Key Hills Captured.
Despite the floods caused by the
Germans diverting the Rapido River
to new course, American infantry
and tanks north of Casino on the
main 5th Army front, captured two
key hills, Nos. 223 and 167, and
fought their way into the villages
OF Cairo and Monte. Villa, where
they are now mopping up.
Cairo is little more than 2
miles north of Casino, and Monte
Villa is just over mile.
"The American attack broke
through German defenses In the
area north of Casino, known as the
Facciano Mountains, catching the
Germans by surprise" an Allied
headquarters commentator said
"A 75-mm. gun, with its crew of IS,
was taken intact, along with pris-
oner bag of AZ"
Casino still was being held
strongly by the Germans, but it was
now outf1anked from the north.
Tanks Cross on Log Bridge.
Tanks, pushed across the Rapido
flood on log bridge constructed by
engineers working under shellfire,
were OF great assistance in smashing
German pillboxes. American infan-
trymen, crouching in the path of the
tank treads to avoid German mine
fields, worked closely with the tanks
in the Russian style.
A mile and a half north of Cairo
French troops consolidated their
gains in the Mount Belvidere sector
and probed Mount Croce, which they
found strongly fortified.
Along the coastal sector of the
main 5th Army front the British
captured Mount Rotundo, 21a miles
northwest of Castelforte and the

Aside from Admiral Nimitz's brief

Third Big Assault
In -Four Nights
Hits Capital
BY the Associated Press.

91 VIC hsoOCluleC fTeSS.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-Hundreds
Of big RAF bombers smashed at
Berlin again last night in the
third great attack in four nights
on the German capital, and
Mosquito bombers darted in
after the heavy bombers to add
to the spreading ruin.
The Berlin assault followed pow
erful American raids yesterday on
Brunswick and Hanover and a rec
ord American bomber blow at
Frankfurt Saturday.
Communications between Sweden
and Berlin, broken yesterday, were
not restored until midday today,
and the first dispatch reaching
Stockholm said last nights attack
caused great damage"
The RAF said "a very strong
force" of bombers struck Berlin,
still flaming from assaults on
Thursday and Friday nights.
Other Objectives Hit.
Smaller forces of night raiders
stabbed at other objectives in Gen.
tral and Western Germany. The
entire nights work, which also in
cluded mine-laying operations, cost
the RAF 80 planes-the smallest loss
in the last four Berlin attacks. This
indicated that the sustained assaults
were proving heavy drain on
enemy fighter forces.
The first British announcement
on last nights Berlin raid failed to
give the tonnage dropped, but it
likely was at least $500 tons, which
is about average for the heavy as
saults since the battle of Berlin be-
gan last November 18.
That would mean that approx
imately 1000 tons of bombs have
cascaded on the city in an actual
bombing time Of less than 10 hours.

by Thunderbolts, bombed military
objectives in the Pas-de-Calais

Army headquarters announced.
5000 Tons Dropped.
In a little more than 70 hours
the Allies have pounded German
and occupied territory with six
heavy assaults and several lighter
sweeps, dropping probably we'll over
5000 tons of bombs in the greatest
sustained offensive the world has
ever known.
United States Army headquarters
announced that heavy bombers OF
the American Strategic Air Forces
based in England and Italy had
dropped more than $500 tons of
bombs in the 48 hours ended last
night.
Attacking from both the west and
south, American planes in two davs
destroyed 255 enemy aircraft. Fight
ers downed l3l while 124 fell to
bomber gunners.
In these operations, which yes
terday alone involved more than
LOO planes, the Americans lost 81
bombers and 81 fighters.
The German-controlled Scandi-
navlan telegraph bureau said the
RAF bombed large areas of Berlin
last night, and indicated the center
OF the city was hard hit. German
lighters met the raiders at the coast,
but many of the bombers took new
routes to reach Berlin, it added.
Up to midafternoon the German
radio had made no mention of the
Berlin attack in broadcasts to Ger
man listeners. In broadcast
beamed abroad, Berlin declared at
least A Raj bombers had been
shot down.
