Allied Armies Mass
Patton's spectacular end run through the rugged Eifel mountains covering. Coblenz momentarily overshadowed the great allied victory to the north. There the Rhineland capital of Cologne fell almost without a struggle and three allied armies were massing for a plunge across the Rhine into the industrial heart of Germany. . The speed of the advance left little doubt that the German collapse in the north had forced the Nazi high command to order a general retreat behind the Rhine all the way from Coblenz to the Dutch border, a distance of more than 110 miles, Remnants of the Cologne garrison already were scurrying for the Bonn crossings I2 miles to the south under a terrible rain of fire from the pursuing American 1st army, and the plight of the Nazi 1st paratroop and 15th armies farther north appeared even more desperate.
