Nevertheless, progress was slow and the fight ing intense. On the right flank of this at tack the First Army got in volved in the Hurtpen Forest, the scene of one of the most bitterly contested battles of the entire campaign. Meanwhile, south of the Ar dennes Forest, the Third Army launched an attack on Novem ber 8. Its offensive was aimed generally at the Saar region and made excellent initial prog ress. North of Metz, bridgeheads were established across the Mo selle, and shortly after the mid dle of November the leading troops crossed the German fron tier. Metz was surrounded and cut off. The city surrendered November 22. Still farther south there was much fighting in Devers' Sixth Army Group. During September It advanced northward through the Rhine Valley and came in abreast of the Third Army line, facing eastward in the difficult Vosges Mountain area. Devers attacked that formidable barrier on November 14, in an attempt to penetrate into thi plains of Alsace. The French First Army led the attack on Devers' front and breached the Belfort Gap with in a week. Its leading troops quickly reached the Rhine. This turned the flank of the German position in the Vosges and forced a general withdraw al in front of the U. S. Seventn Army under General Patch. . The fighting througnout the front, from Switzerland to the mouth of the Rhine, descended during the late fall months to the dirtiest kind of infantry slugging. '. Advances were slow and la borious. Gains were ordinarily measured in terms of yards rather than miles. Operations became mainly a matter of ar tillery and ammunition and, on the part of the infantry, endur ance, stamina, and courage. J In the late fall, as we ap proached the borders of Ger many, we studied the desira bility of committing our air iorce to the destruction of the Rhine bridges, on which the existence of the German forces "west of the river depended. i It was certain that with our great air force we could so limit -the usefulness of floating bridg es that the enemy would soon have to withdraw. We entertain ed no hope of saving these .bridges for our own later use. ' Our reasons for declining to .commit the air force against the bridges were based upon consid erations of priority and effect iveness. '. To destroy merely a few was of little use. A total of twenty- ,tx major bridges, it was re ported to me at that time, span ned the river; some twenty of them would have to be render ed useless or the effort would be only partially effective. Even with the best of flying conditions the task would re quire a prolonged and heavy bombing effort. The Air Staff calculated that destiuction nf the bulk of the bridges would require vastly more time and bomb tonnage than we could af ford to divert from other vit ally important purposes. One of the greatest of these - "VB)e-. ;v.lr-df plete from i'tgt 41 stretched condition of our troops caused constant concern, partic ularly on Bradley's front. In order to maintain the two attacks that we then considered important, we had to concen trate available forces in the vi cinity of the Roer dams on the north and bordering the Saar on the south. This weakened the static, or protective force in the Ardennes region. The responsibility for main taining only four divisions on the Ardennes front and for run ning the risk of a large German penetration in that area was mine. At any moment from Novem ber 1 onward I could have pass ed to the defensive along the whole front and made our lines absolutely secure from attack while we awaited reinforce ments. The German Sixth Panzer ar my, which had appeared on our front, was the strongest and most efficient mobile reserve re maining to the enemy within his whole country. At that time some intelligence reports indicated a growing anx iety about our weakness in the Ardennes, where we knew that the enemy was increasing his infantry formations Previously he had, like ourselves, been us ing that portion of the front in which to rest tired divisions. This type of report, however, is always coming from one por tion or another of a front. The commander who took counsel only of all the gloomy' intelli gence estimates would never win a battle; he would forever be sitting, fearfully waiting for the predicted catastrophes tern I had personally prescrib- ' 1' a ItV We remained on the offensive fCVA I M IfSA V" I Q tjMW .
