Between the rivers San and Vistula and 30 miles west of Jarosław the centre of Reichshof has been taken. Here Russian troops are within 80 miles of Krakow. Our correspondent in Stockholm reported that the Germans are removing troops from Southern Finland. Only this morning the German people heard for the first time that Turkey has broken off all relations with Germany. Last night's flying bomb attack was a rather heavy one. The attacks continued this morning. Double British summer time is to be extended to the 17-9-1944.

The Americans are driving fast and deep into Brittany. They are reported to be on the outskirts at Rennes and Dinan this afternoon. Robert Dunnett reported from Normandy today and said the Germans launched a strong counterattack between Tessy and Percy. After failure of this attack the Germans withdrew t0 Vire but we are already in it as well as in Mortain. The Germans are rapidly blowing up their dumps. Rennes in Brittany had a population of 70000 in peacetime.
