British Sweep
On Dunkeroue

The all-conquering Nazi hosts
are now shattered, bounded by day
and night, anc they have lost all
semblance of an effective fighting
force" United Press War Core
Spondent Richard d. Mcmillan re-
ported from the British field head
quarters.
They have only one idea-to
drag themselves somehow out of
the clutches of their fast-moving
British purSuers."
Mcmillan reported that nuncreds
OF Germans. worn out by the re-
lentleSS pounding of Allied land
and air forces, quit cold before
AmienS and simply lay down along
the roadside to watch the British
armor roll by. They were rounCed
up without fight.
MOVE FAST
The wearied British columns al
ready had covered more than 60
miles in 48 hours but they pushed
on swiftly in the conviction they
soon would be marching on Ger
man soil.
The next main objective in their
path was ArraS, 81 miles to the
northeast. Boulogne lay 60 miles to
the northwest, Calais IA miles
north-northwest and Dunkeroue.
where the British expeditionary
force was cut to ribbons by the
Wehrmacht in 1910, was II miles
to the north.
