6/3/1944. 1.= pm. Frederick Allen
The Germans suffered a shattering
defeat in the Western Ukraine where over a
front of 100 miles 12 divisions were
routed. Our Mosquitoes went to Western
Germany. Military objectives in the
Pas de Calais area were attacked by some
200 Marauders yesterday. None of our
aircraft is missing.
In Italy weather curtailed all activity
but patrolling takes place on the main
5th Army front.
Middle East aircraft flew 250 sorties
and no planes are missing. Only 4
enemy planes were seen over the
battlefield. Rabaul was heavily bombed
again. On New Guinea our troops are
within 50 miles from Madang. Our
planes also attacked Hollandia in
Dutch New Guinea. A report by Richard
Sharp and read by Godfrey Talbot was
given about operations behind the Japanese
lines in Burma which are carried out
by coloured men from West Africa as
Gold Coast, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and
so on. They go barefooted and are big
men.
