Patton's Forces Storm Rhine,
BEGIN Drive Toward The East

pushed on inland and more and
more and more men and supplies
were landing on the bridgehead
in assault boats. Ball said the
beachhead by then had become "as
quiet as Sunday picnic
There was no question Of Patton's
ability to exploit his surprise, for
the stuff that he had planned far
outweighed that which the Ger
mans were able to muster after
the debacle west of the river.
The Third Army was striking in
land with the same lightning speed
with which it broke across the
Moselle river and turned or smash
ed all the German defenses in the
Saar and the Palatinate.
Assault boats and emphibious
craft piled the calm Rhine, putting
supplies and men on the beaches
and keeping the surprise push roll
ing.
The location of the crossing was
not disclosed. If it was in the
Mainz area, as the Germans said,
then it was within 265 miles of
Berlin, much closer than any other
of Gen. Eisenhower armies in the
west.
Twelfth Army Group headouar-
tiers announced that the crossing
was made at 1925 Thursday night
without aerial OF artillery prepare
ton, and since then the bridgehe:. ID
had been steadily enlarged.
The operation had been planned
and rehearsed for months, long be-
fore Patton's forces stood on the
Rhine.
AS Patton's lines moved remorse-
lessly eastward, first across the
Eifel mountains, then across the
Moselle and southwark across the
Hunsrueck plateau to tn Rhine
plain, the engineers and the assault
boats moved too.
There were many tons of these
assault boats, which were moved
at night and hid out by day. The
crossings was made with such
smoothness that it went better than
the rehearsals.
Infantry in the assault waves
were so elated by the success oil
this bold stroke that they began
nominating themselves for the jot
OF taking Berlin.
For miles back on the Rhine's
west bank the roads were linee
with trucks and prime movers, al
hurrying toward the river.
This second setback for the Ger.
mans east of the Rhine, whict
might well be mortal, came a.
history's greatest aerial onslaught,
