advances a little over a mile and through 4 villages.
The Americans are also advancing against stiff
resistance. Our fighter bombers attacked railway
targets around Arras and in the two attacks on
oil storage tanks near St. Nazaire we destroyed
many tanks. Stuttgart is well known for aero and
submarine engines and the attack during
which high explosives were also dropped lasted 15
minutes. To mislead German fighter packs 2
faint attacks were made and the route was
carefully selected. The round trip was some
1700 miles and it was made without interception
of night fighters. Bomb sites were again attacked
early this morning. In Poland the railway line
between Lwow and Przemyśl has been cut. The
Germans now admit the surrender of their
garrison at Lublin. The "Völkische Beobachter"
gives a gloomy picture of the situation and
says bravery alone will not stop the Red Army.
There is now only one road open from Brest-Litovsk
to Warsaw. The railway is cut. Fighting in Burma has taken a
new turn. Utility furniture ration will be increased to
the level at which it stood before September last year.
Towels will be available without coupons for people
who have taken in evacuees. Those who have lost food
stocks through flying bombs will get 12 food points
1/2 lb. of sugar and preserves extra.
