Central Pacific the Japanese lost at least
300 aircraft in a battle over Saipan in
the Marianas less than 1400 miles from
Tokyo. More pilot less planes were over
South England yesterday and last night.
They caused some damage and casualties
but several were destroyed by our fighters.
Since the robot offensive started a few days
ago our fighter and anti aircraft defenses
have shot down a large number of the
pilot less planes. There was some enemy
activity over Eastern Scotland during the
night. The German radio said this morning
that hostile bomber formations were
approaching South West Germany.

In coordinated attacks our hold on Normandy
and the Cherbourg peninsula has been tightened.
The security ban on foreign diplomats has
been lifted. Bricquebec has been liberated and we
are 2 miles from Valognes and over the river above
Quinéville whereas we are bypassing Montebourg.
Cherbourg itself is under fire since yesterday
morning. The country in the Cherbourg
Peninsula is broken and wooded.
