On the inland side of their

at dawn against the road junc

They struck from points two

To the east, British-Canadian

But the British held solidly to
tneir line in xne irans-uaon river
salient, and to "Crucifix Hill"
northeast of Esquay despite the
most violent efforts of Marshal
Rommel's 11 divisions to retake
it. A whole German regiment of
up to auuu- men was liquidated
and hundreds were captured.

For the second day running,
the GIs struck at dawn but this
time after only slight artillery
preparation, iney advanced slow

land littered with burned out
German tanks, thrown swiftly in
to the fray. The German inten
tion, a front line dispatch said,
had been to press with tanks
through the narrow beachhead
to Isigny on the sea and thus
split Lt. Gen. Omar Bradley's
front.
On the west coast below La
Haye du Puits, the GIs cleared
the great forest, Mt. Castre, to
the southeast.
Medium and light American
bombers intervened explosively
in the ground fighting, striking
