Allied planes were crossing and recrossing the coast over the Channel. This morning Mosquitoes went to Central and Western Germany last night and also went sea mining all without loss. There was some activity over Coastal districts last night. Some damage was caused but no one was hurt. 7 enemy planes were brought down over this country and one over the Channel. The Russians have crossed the broad river Dnjestr after crossing the Bug last week and are now advancing on the Prut. The Dnjestr which is very wide was crossed in a day; over a more than 60 miles front it was reached and crossed over a 30 miles front. Over 40 places in Bessarabia were captured. On the Eastern bank of the river more upstream Mohyliv-Podilskyi an important town and railway crossing was reached and the Russians are only 45 miles away from the Rumanian frontier. Vinnytsja is more threatened than ever before (the German High Command announced at 2 pm they had left the city!) There is no news about the pressure on Mykolajiv.
