We were able TO absorb this
cost in-men- and machines by
virtue of our superior airplane
output and manpower.
But we were a long distance

BECAUSE in our aerial offen-

overall losses were in the favor
of the enemy, we did not have
command of the skies.
We merely had what is most
accurately described as "su-
periority" in the air, since we

comparable to ours, we would
not have dared 60 into Saipan.
The bulk of what she has is con-
centrated in southern japan, for

The shock of losing 300 naval
planes in our first landing oper-
alton was a terrific blow. the
extent of which could be de-
tected in the Jap broadcasts.

WASHINGTON, June 23-
w Morale Of the Nazi fight

WASHINGTON, June 23-
w Morale of the Nazi fight
ers encountered in France is
mixed. There were some crack
units of the young and fervid
Hitlerites, but interpreted with
those were older men and many
alien units.
These units of non-Nazi for
eigners to Germany included a
few ardent Fascists from all the
countries of Europe, but most
we're either fighting for the
money or were pressed into
service. AS whole, they were
definitely third rate.
This is of highest Importance
because the war now has be-
come a taut rubber band. 1t
is being constantly stretched
farther and farther. 1t is i'm
possible to say exactly when and
where it will break, yet the
break certainly will be forced
by the impetus of weakening
morale. And il is at least clear
now Nazi fighting power Is no
more than patchwork.
THIS measure also gives the
l. overall picture of the battle.
Only at certain points was the
conflict tough, but at these
points our casualties were heavy.
The Germans offered two strong
tank battles against the British
at Caen and lilly. These at
tacks were repeated. and the
British were repulsed before
they were able to retake lilly.
At Montebourg and Carentan
in the American sector. we en-
countered costly fighting. At
Montebourg our men were
driven back by superior power,
yet in the end were able to re-
take the town.
The famed Ninth Division,
which cut across the Cherbourg
isthmus fought this isolated bit
ter engagement. The Nazis had
cleverly d en- d e d orchards.
wooded hills, and particularly
hedges along the roads. After
we had spanned the isthmus the
going was easier, but we had
trouble at Valognes. The Ger
mans tried hard to fight their
way out of the Cherbourg en-
trapment, but $4,000 or more
remnants of three divisions
were finally bottled.
The Ninth Division earlier
had distinguished itself in the
difficult and dangerous advance
down the northern highway of
Sicily where blown tunnels and
bridges high above the sea i'm
peded their path, and also
fought well in Tunisia. While
others may claim credit for hav-
ing pushed the isthmus cutting
drive half way across, il was
the Ninth alone which finished
the task.
WHILE Cherb ourg Is de-
w stroyed, il will be no more
difficult for us to use than was
Naples. There we were able TO
re-establish docking facilities in
an amazingly few days.
