Marshal Rommel won a point in his demands to throw more forces into the Normandy front for the rest of this month In a drive to Inflict the heaviest possible losses on the allies. 2. Marshal von Runstedt, Ger man commander in the west, stepped out as the "first error man" in the Invasion because he refused to throw every available force against the Normandy beachhead at the beginning. 3. The necessity of maintaining crack divisions on the western front makes it extremely diffi cult to throw fresh troops into Ihe eastern battle against young and rested Russians, but It is hop ed to make a stand In the east by the end of the month, prob ably behind the Wlsta (Vistula.) 4. Voluntary evacuation of Pol and and east Prussia by civilians , and families of German civil ser vants has been In progress . for the past 10 dnys.
