A senior officer at General Montgomery's
Headquarters announced last night that
the Allies had won the battle of Normandy.
He said the Germans could now fight
only strong rearguard actions. They had
been throwing their army north of the Seine
to reinforce their troops in Normandy and
it was unlikely that they could again
assemble a first class army in France.
The remains of the German 7th Army
are retreating chaotically toward
the lower Seine. Allied planes yesterday
knocked out over 3000 enemy vehicles
and 200 tanks. Unconfirmed reports
say American armoured
columns have reached Versailles only
