south of Caen which attack was preceded by
bombing through some 1000 planes.
First objectives have been gained and this
morning they had advanced 4 miles. The
attack began shortly after 11 o'clock last
night. The bombing went on for nearly an
hour. The attack started near Tilly-la-Campagne
and May-sur-Orne. The German attack
launched near Mortain was the largest
since D-day. The Americans continue to
advance on a 40 miles front. St. Malo has
been cut off. Well out to the northwest of
Kaunas Russian troops are most
advanced toward East Prussia.
West from Schaulen advances have been
made toward the Baltic coast.
Soviet troops have also advanced 15
miles on the road from Bialystok to
Lyck. Here they are 30 miles from the
German frontiers of East Prussia.
The Russian air force makes frequent
bomber raids over East Prussia
and they have caused much damage
to Insterburg railway station.
Large numbers of the bombs the Russians
drop on German soil are made in Germany
and these were captured by the Russians.
