Mr.. Mallonee said that he was
about to pass a pickup truck, after

The battle of Germany-last act

The western Allies, in intensive
preparation for their projected all
out offensive, fought Their way
into two strategic communications
centers-Kleve. in the north, and
Pruem. a hundred miles to the
south. SO great was the threat
produced by these two attacks
that the Germans were reported
rushing reinforcement from the
eastern theater.
on the other side of the Reich
the Red Armies continued TO bat
ter into the country over a wide
front, especially on their northern
and southern flanks. The Moscow

smashed and can't stand up TO the
Soviet pressure.
