Russ Army Speeds
Drive on Minsk;
Germans Retreat

MOSCOW, July /. oUP)-Two
red armies, streaming across the
Berezina river both northeast and
southeast of Minsk, sped down the
home stretch from advance posi-
tions only 25 miles away Saturday
in a giant drive against the an
cient citadel guarding the invasion
route TO Warsaw and Berlin.
The Germans threw fresh SIS and
security troops into battle in an
llth hour attempt to stem the Sow
let avalanche, but the lst and Bird
White Russian armies smashed
through them and raced on at a
pace that threatened to bring
Minsk under siege and perhaps top
pie it within the next few Gays.
STORM DEFENSES
Gen. ivan d. CherniakhoVsky'S
third army completed the rupture of
Minsk's outer defenses Friday by
storming across the Berazina, last
natural obstacle before the city, on
a wide front above Borisov on the
Moscow -MinSk- Warsaw railway and
pushed on another l9 miles to the
west. Street fighting ragged in Bori-
SOY itself.
The first army undcr Marshal
Konstantin x. Rokossovsky, already
across the Berezina southeast of
Minsk, outflanked the fortress with
the capture of Slutsk, 60 miles to
the south, after a 23-mile advance
in "a hours.
FALL OF SLUTSK
The fall of Slutsk also put the
Soviets only 60 miles due east of
the Baranowirze gap, IS miles
southwest of Minsk and next
stronghold on the Moscow Warsaw
railway The Soviet high command
said the enemy was in hurried re-
treat from Slutsk, closely pursued
by the Russians.

many, many ack-ack soldiers on
the beachheaa and that by the
time everything has arrived the
number will be much larger.
And that is speaking only of ack-
ack men who do nothing else. In
addition there are thousands of
gunners attached to divisions and
other units who Gouble in brass
when planes come over and shoot
at anything that passes low.
RANKS HIGH
Our ack-ack is commanded by
general officer, which indicates how
important 1t is. His hundreds of
gun batteries even intercept planes
before they near the beaches. The
gun positions are plotted on a big
wall map in his command tent,
just as the battle lines are plotted
by infantry units. A daily score
is kept of the planes shot down

the first two weeks.
Up to the time this is written
the Germans don't seem to have
made up their minds exactly what
they are trying to do in the air
They wander around all night long,
usually in singles but sometimes in
numbers, but they don't do a great
deal of bombing. Most of them turn
away at the first near burst from
one of our Comm. guns. Our ack-
ack men say they think the German
pilots are yellow, but having seen
the quality of German fighting for
nearly two years now that is hard
for me to believe.
DROP FLARES, THEN LEAVE
Often they will drop flares that
will light up the whole beach area,
and then fail to follow through and
bomb by the light of their flares.
The acka men say that not more
than two out of ten planes that
approach the beachhead ever make
their bomb runs over our shipping.
You are liable to get bomb any
where along the coastal area, for

1t is indeed a spectacle to watch
the antiaircraft fire when the Ger
mans actually get over the beach
area. All the machine guns on the
ships lying off the beaches cut
loose with their red tracer bullets,
and those on shore do too. Their
bullets arch in all directions and
fuse into a sky-filling pattern. The
lines of tracerS bend and wave and
seem like streams of red water
from hoses. The whole thing be-
comes a gigantic, animated foun-
tain of red in the black sky. And
above all this are the Split-Second
golden flashes of biggun shells
as they explode high up toward
the stars.
The noise is terrific. Sometimes
low clouds catch the crac: of these
many guns and scramble them all
into one gigantic roar which rolls
and thunders like the blood-curdling
approach of a hurricane.
Your tent walls puff from the
conclusion of the guns and bombs,
and the earth trembles and shakes.
If you're sleeping in a foxhole,
little clouds of dirt come rolling
down upon you.
When the planes are really close
and the guns are pounding out a
mania of sound, you put on your
steel helmet in bed and sometimes
you crop off To sleep with it on and
wake up with it on in the morning
and feel very foolish.

Naturally no hint could be given
as to when and where Montgomery
was planning to strike the blow for
which he has been building since
D-Day, but it was clear that the
blow would fall soon and that il
will be really big one.
Coincident with the Allied an

upper Cherbourg peninsula, the
DNB agency said that the last
center of German resistance in the
northwest corner of the peninsula
ceased last night

equipped American divisions" BY
