 The Bremen flight across the Elbe in front of the advancing British and reports of wholesale exodus southWard in the Elbe-Oder corri- dor below Berlin apparently con- f1rmed earlier indications that the NaN high command finally had or dered the split-up of Its forces for the last great battle of the war.

 U. s. Third army forces on their right flank were menacing the Ger mans last big line of retreat through Dresden and Czechoslovakia, ad- vancing within 30 miles of Dresden and up to the German-Czechoslovak border.
 Far to the south, the American Seventh army laid siege to Nuern- berg, northwestern outpost of the Bavarian redoubt and drove 8 strong infantry spearhead into the city it. self.
 There the Americans were less than 90 miles from Munich, birth place of the Nad party, 150 miles from Berchtesgaden, and less than 50 miles from the headquarters of the Danube.

 The site of the reported juncture, which headquarters spokesmen in- dicated actually had been chosen for that meeting, was almost 50 miles west of the last reported Red army positions and about 40 miles east of the American lines.
