into the. debris littered streets of

which have -dropped 1600 loads of t
explosives in two days onto the
nuns of the first German city
ringed by . an Invader since the
days of Napoleon.

Sixty-four ' tanks were' blown
apart by the withering curtain of
bomb and shell fire draped about
German panzer column which
attempted to force through a half-

three miles away..
