300-Mile Perimeter
Already the American invasion
perimeter was more than 300 miles
in extent from the Rhone delta
area through Grenoble and Brian
con, and down to Antilles on the
coast beyond Cannes.
Seventh Army columns aided by
French patriots appeared to be
roaming widely, seeking out and
destroying the disorganized Ger
man groupings wherever they
could be found.
Both in the lower Rhone Valley
after the fall of Avignon. Aries
and Tarascon, and in the area be-
yond Grenoble, the situation was
comparable to that in Brittany
after the first American break
through from the Normandy beach
head.
The routed Germans had broken
into scores of small bodies SO
widely dispersed that hundreds OF
Allied planes were searching out
the whole zone ahead of the ground
forces but rarely finding targets
on the roads.
Determined resistance to the :
death was found only in surround
ed forces such as those at Tou-
lon and Marseille At both those
big ports, the Allies reported con-
tinuing progress.
The French said the naval ar
senal at Toulon had been seized
and all pockets east of the naval
base had been cleaned out, while
in Marseille they continued to
clear resistance points and were
attacking the German-held Notrs
Dame de La Garde area.
Patch's headquarters announced
that the French had taken for4s
D'Artigues and Malbousquet in
Toulon, with the only organized
German resistance remaining in
the so-called six-fours distrist, and
that further progress was being
made inside Marseille, where
German damage has been ex-
tensive, with demolitions wreck
ing many of the quays, warehous-
es, drydocks and port facilities"
The Allied Mediterranean COM
mander, Gen. Sir Henry Maitland
Wilson, sent Patch a message of
congratulations on the southern
France operation, saying he was
sure it would result in total de-
struction of the German 10Th
