Over 750 American heavy bombers strongly escorted
went to France today attacking railway junctions,
bridges etc.
General de Gaulle, who went over to Normandy on
a French cruiser, has arrived back here.
The temperature of the battle is growing and still
rising. The unloading of troops and stores is
progressing. The Germans say today that the battle
is approaching its climax and getting more
violent every day. Sir Arthur Cunningham
has flown to France today. The German woman-
sniper captured at Sainte-Mère-Église will be interned
in this country. In Italy we have pushed on
7 miles from Narni and have reached the
outskirts of Terni. L'Aquila has also been reached
and the Pescara river had been left behind
and we are across the next stream.
The Finns brought up fresh forces against the
Russians but that did not help to stop
the Red Army's advance.
