It is no secret that the main factor in the decision to fight for Al-| sace was political, The French are reluctant to yield any of their territory and the An-glo-American leaders are anxious| to maintain civilian morale. behind their lines in France.

Opposed at First ~

The decision forced on the allied |= | high command by the sudden burst [of German offiensive power in Al- | sace at the height of the Ardennes | [offensive was a tremendous one.| Apparently it was opposed at first | l'by the military commanders. | Lt. Gen, Alexander M. Patch’s |= U. 8S. Tth army was falling back | rapidly into new positions in the | Maginot line south of Bitchie and | Wissembourg. Prime Minister Winston Churchill | land Sir Alan Brooks, British chief of staff, arrived dramatically at Gen. ‘Dwight D. Eisenhower’s headquarters on Jan. 3. That was three days after the start of the Nazi | drive,

Withdrawal Opposed

Gen. Alphonse-Pierre Juin, French chief of staff, sat in on the conference. He opposed any withdrawal in Alsace on the -grounds that it would be a severe blow to French morale as well as a boost to the Germans. They consider the province an integral part of the reich; The Karlsruhe triangle is a precarious area to hold because it contains only two satisfactory lines of | communication. They are the sarre-| guemines-Hagenau rail and road] line and the line running down |= through the Saverne pass. The military leaders might have preferred to write off this position in the interest of stabilizing’ their southern flank along the Vosges in the face of the offensive strength massed there by the Germans.

Blow to French Prestige

But on the political . level, the blow to France's reviving international prestige involved in the loss of Strasbourg had to be considered. This was the political. phase of the decision. But military considerations also were involved in view of the importance of preserving mordle inside France, which is the main supply base of the American armies on the Western front. Churchill discussed the question with Eisenhower and the other military leaders for two days. Then he conferred with French President Gen. Charles de Gaulle. When he left, it was clear that it had been agreed that Strasbourg could and would be held.

Withdrawal Stops

Thereafter, the American withdrawal from the Wissembourg gap stopped ten miles short of Hagenau | Patch began to exert counter-pres-[sure against the Germans’ Bitche bulge to the west. When the Germans established ! their bridgehead across the Rhine] north of Strasbourg, Patch also-was able to contain it. The new threat to Strasbourg from the south is being countered by French troops. The French have been entrusted with defending Strasbourg itself and all of Alsace to the south, Whether the allied armies can afford this kind of political victory —the. same refusal to give up strategically-useless ground that has marked German operations—remains to be seen. The threat to Strasbourg has not yet ended.
