PARIS, April 6 (UP) Two American and one Ilritiah
army rammed through wilting nazi defenses lines today to
plunge within 17 miles of Hannover, 136 miles west of Ber

a drive across the open north German plain.
The American first army joined the British second and
the American ninth in a now offensive that rolled up the
Wescr river line, last German river line before the Elbe
which lies just beyond the city's western suburbs. ' '
The ninth army was within 17 miles of Hannover and the
first army swung forward as much as 25 miles to reach the
Weser about 160 miles southwest ofBerlin.
Lt. Gen. George S. Patton 's third army, which has paced
the attack across Germany, drove forward seven miles south
