The battle north of Aachen is going well and
the Americans are well across the railway
running north of the town. American
artillery blasted 2 pathways 600 yards
wide. The 1st Army also operated with
armour near Sittard. The Western flank
of the British salient in Holland has been
extended. The counterattacks slung
back were northeast of Nancy. After finding
an underground aircraft factory
recently we now found an underground
ammunition factory in the Alsace.
