ABOUT FOLK WE KNOW

Rev W. H. Morrow of Columbus,
Miss. was in the office last week
Evening star., 1945-02-07

on the Sure just southeast of WAL
lendorf, 20 miles northeast of Lux
embourg City. Another was made
on the Our just northwest of Wal
lendorf. First reports gave no indi-
cation Of the depths to which the
Blue Ridgers penetrated. Consid-
cradle forces, however, were put
across the streams
Farther north on the Our, ele-
ments of the l7th Air-borne Golden
Eagle) Division, commanded by
Maj. Gen: William M. Miley, crossed
the stream miles east of Clervaux.
The Our was 10 feet wide here.
Details of this operation were not
available at Sd Army headquarters
at midmorning.
Just north of the skytroopers,
armored infantry of the 9Th Armored
Division, commanded by Maj. Gen.
Robert w. Grow, crossed the Our at
point 5 miles northeast of Cler-
vaux.
Third Army troops who invaded
Germany opposite the late Ardennes
bulge last month were 8 miles deep
in Germany. They captured three
small towns, west and northwest of
Pruem. These were Hontheim, Sell
lerich and Herscheid. All are in the
area where the Siegfried Line had
been holed through.
Resistance was moderate to strong.
Enemy self-propelled artillery ap-
peared for the first time in several
days. The rugged terrain of the
snowy Eifel Mountains was the
major obstacle. however.
Americans of the French 1st Army
stormed Neufbreisach. a 200-year-
old fortress town On the Rhine
They crossed its moats in rubber
boats and scaled its walls with lad
ders. More than 1000 Germans
were captured by the American Sd
Division in the Alsatian town. An
other 5000 Germans were estimated
to be cut Oh south Of Colmar with
only slim chance Of escaping
across the Rhine. 3
French colonials crossed the Ill
River at several points between
Neufbreisach and Mulhouse, forcing
the Germans into smile corridor
between the Rhine and Rhine
Rhone Canal. Only ferries and pom
toon bridges remain for German
flight across the river into the for
bidding Black Forest of Baden

boats were riddled and sunk; others
went through submerged barbed

the river to more than 80 feet wide
Shortly after the 5th Division in

opened up with a heavy barrage to
smother Siegfried Line batteries and
pillboxeS.
