IN EXECUTING - Gen. Eisenhower's plan, a co-ordinated drive by the 1st Canadian army from the watershed between the Meuse

and the Rhine was necessary and

an attack by the U. 8. 0th army across the Roer toward Dusseldorf was to follow shortly afterward. On Feb, 8 the 1st Canadian army began its attack following a heavy air and artillery preparation, Initially, the Canadian advance was rapid, but flooded terrain de-|’ layed the start of the 9th army attack, permitting the enemy to concentrate against the Canadians. . . » IN PREPARATION for the oth army offensive, the tactical and strategic air forces flew almost 10,000 sorties on Feb. 22. They pounded rail and transportation targets throughout the length and breadth of Germany. These blows from British, French, and Italian bases were designed to paralyze the German rail system: and isolate the Western front. The next day ‘the 9th army attack

was some delay in establishing bridgeheads over the flooded Roer— the general roe. was quite rapid. By March 1 Roermond and

Contact was established with Gen. Hodges’ 1st army units southeast of

the Rhine from Nijmegen in Hol land to its junction with the Moselle at Koblenz. . . » ONCE the Eifel sector had been mopped up, Gen. Patton was ready to assist the Tth army in reducing the Saar pocket. Gen. Eisenhower wrote me: “Tomorrow morning the 20th corps of Patton's army begins a local attack in the Trief area as a preliminary to the generdl attack by 7th army on the 15th, “So far we as can determine there is not a single reserve division in this whole area. If we can get a quick b

through, the advance should .go

very rapidly and success in the

“I have given the Tth army 14 divisions for their part of the job, and 20th corps (3d army) jumps off with four. “Patton will throw in another subsidiary effort from north to south across the Moselle with about four to five divisions.” ¥ ® » ON MARCH 14 Gen. Patton established a bridgehead across the Moselle, southwest of Koblenz, The following day his troops lunged southward from the Moselle bridgehead, other 3d army forces drove east from Trier, and the 7th army attacked northward between Saarbrucken and the Rhine, Despite dense mine fields and the formidable Siegfried line fortifications, the 7th gained steadily, pinning down strong enemy formations and leaving the 3d army tanks free to cut to pleces the rear of the German position. . » . ON MARCH 16 a spearhead of the 4th armored division broke through for a gain of 32 miles and seized two bridges across the Nahe river south of Bad Kreuznach. From this point on, resistance south of the Moselle crumbled.

s = IN TWO DAYS this bridgehead was expanded to a width of 15 miles, and on the third day the 4th armored division broke through the enemy lines to a depth of 27 miles, seizing an undamaged bridge over the Main river. The daring armored thrusts in the Saar had criss-crossed and in-

termingled elements of the two armies. Under the skillful direction of Gen. Bradley and Gen. Devers, the army commanders regrouped their mingled corps and divisions without loss to the momentum of the offensive,
