By MAI. GEO. FIELDING ELIOT.

Today the picture We have of the
clearer.
1t would seem at present accounts
that the enemy has succeeded in
getting back across the Rhine with
the bulk of the good divisions which
he had used to hold off the flank
attack of the Canadian LIST Army.
That army and the American 9th
Army have effected a junction, but
the junction point was too far west
to entrap the German troops and
cut them off from the Rhine.
The crucial moment probably came
Thursday when spearheads of the
9th Army ran into heavy resistance
north of Krefeld, and had to side
slip" to the west. The speed of the
9th Army's advance apparently was
so great that 1t. Gen. William H.
Simpsons men could not develop
quite enough strength to go straight
ahead for the Rhine crossings west
of Duisburg. Most of the 10 or
III first-class German divisions
which were the object of this swift
thrust seem to have gotten back
across the Rhine in the stretch be-
tween Vessel and Duisburg.
The Canadian 1st Army and
United States 9th Army, forming
with the British End Army the 21st
Army Group of Marshal Montgom-
cry, will now come up to the left
bank of the Rhine all along that
river from the vicinity of Mouse
Opposite Dusseldorf down to the
Dutch frontier. This grip on the
left bank of the Rhine may be ex-
tended westward past Anthem if
the German pocket just east of
Anthem between the WAL and the
Neder Rim can be cleared out.
The total length of the river that
thus seems likely to come under
Allied control Gas far as its left bank
is concerned) is about 80 miles. The
possession of SO long a stretch of
the left bank of the Rhine is a
military fact of very great sig
nificance.
Limited Defense Possible.
The enemy cannot make a COM
plete yard-by-yard defense of any
such front as that. He does not
have troops enough for the purpose.
He must depend on covering the best
crossing points by delaying detach-
ments, and gathering as quickly
as he can one or two strong groups
of reserves with which to counter
attack any attempt at crossing the
river by our forces.
That fact, added to his known
shortage of good mobile divisions,
was the underlying reason why it
was so important to try to destroy
his best grouping of such divisions,
which he had risked on the west
bank of the Rhine to delay the
Canadians.
Now it should not be supposed
that this grouping has escaped in
tact. These divisions have been

badly mauled. The Germans have
also suffered severe losses in ma
terrell.
Keep this part of the situation in
mind for a moment as We glance at
the conditions on the Cologne sector
of the front Here the Germans
have blocked the direct advance of
the United States LIST Army toward
Cologne by holding the high ground
Das Vorgebirge) just east of the
Erft River, barring the main roads
into Cologne from the west. But
they were able to do so only by
reinforcing their defensive divisions
with elements of three armored
divisions, which may now be trapped
into a pocket around Cologne.
The 9th Army has reached the
Rhine north of Cologne, and the
right flank of the LIST Army seems
about to reach the river in the Vi
cinity of Bonn, south of Cologne:
the Allied air forces are attacking
the Cologne bridges. But there is
strong probability that parts. at
any rate. of five German divisions
were pulled back across the Rhine
in the Dusseldorf area before the
Germans themselves blew the
bridges at that point.
Nazi Problem Outlined.
Now add this up: The German
problem is not to defend Cologne
but to keep powerful Allied thrust
from breaking across the Rhine
north of Cologne in the 80-mile
stretch already referred to where we
control, or shortly will control, the
whole left. bank of the river. TIC
do this, the German commander
must put together powerful coun-
terattacking force.
He has as material for such q
force. to reinforce his purely de-
fensive troops, what is left of the
10 or II parachute, panzer grena-
der and infantry divisions which
were fighting the Canadians and
have now been withdrawn across
the Rhine, plus the five divisions
which he got out in the Duessel-
dorf sector, plus anything he car
salvage of the three armored di-
visions now in the Cologne pocket
plus whatever he can scrape up
from the area south of Cologne.
All of this is the reason why
there has been so much German
traffic up and down the Rhine
parallel with the stream, as re-
ported by our air forces during the
past few days.
The German Army is by no means

east coast of England during the
night. This recalled that Nazi
Propaganda Minister Goebbels, in
calling on the German people for a
last-ditch fight four days ago, said
that the V-bomb attacks would be
intensified.
The sound of antiaircraft guns,
now rare in England, was heard
during the action. Explosions sug-
gested some winged bombs were hit
in the air. Several times the sky
was lit up with great flashes of light
along the east coast. One bomb
was shot down over a coast town,
and there was property damage but
no casualties.

damaged by V-bombs, it was per-
mitted to be disclosed today. An

is certainly suffering for the mo-
ment from considerable confusion
due to having been pushed around,
made to do good many things in
a great hurry. and suffering pretty
severe losses in the process. The
Germans recover very quickly from
such conditions.
The stretch of the Rhine from
Dusseldorf to Anthem is the cru
cial sector of the front on which
decisive results Snay be obtained,
and which the enemy will find it
most difficult to defend under
existing conditions.
