can Ninth and British Second
Army troops cleared the entire
west bank of the Roer river for
40 airline miles from Holland to
below Duren today, achieving a
strategic springboard for attacks
against the industrial Ruhr and
the Rhineland.
Flame-throWing infantry OF
the Ninth Army advanced more
than mile in a limited night
attack, capturing Brachelen, q
miles southwest of Dusseldorf,
and 81 Siegfried Line pillboxes.
The German survivors withdrew
completely to the east bank Of
the river.

Army sector west of the Roer
and liberates the Sittard sector

FOE ADVANCES
On the opposite flank of the
western front, seven or more
German divisions, h ever,
gained more than a mile toward
Strasbourg in the biggest enemy
offensive since the ArdenneS
breakthrough.
The American Seventh Army
counterattacked last night and
wiped out one crossing over the
Moder river near beleaguered
Haguenau, flattened another and
whipped the Nazis momentarily
to a standstill.
