The Germans lost the greater part of 4 divisions in the
Cherbourg fighting. Cherbourg is one of the finest ports in
Europe with an all-weather anchorage. In the 4 divisions
are included the 77th, 91st and 243rd divisions. The
commanding general of Cherbourg and the admiral
of the Cherbourg peninsula have been captured.
Yesterday's prisoner's bag totaled 9400 in 24
hours. It is a definite fact that Cherbourg was not
lost according to the German plan. The American
general commanding was General Bradley.
