southward plunge to lop off the
Brest peninsula.
Press Drive
Meanwhile other columns
pressed an encircling drive
around the obstacle city of Tor-igni-Sur-Vire,
27 miles inland,
capturing the hamlets of La
Reavierre and La Frccticre to tho
southeast.
The fifth parachute and the
77th, 91st, 243rd, 352nd and
353rd German infantry divisions
were said to have been virtually
knocked out of existence by Lt.
Gen. Omar N. Bradley's smash
ing offensive.
Guard Smashed
In addition, the crack second
elite guard and Lehr armored
divisions were believed to have
been badly smashed but with
enough ot their original equip
ment and personnel to retain
their identities.
Thus the remnants of at least
eight divisions were being rapid
ly ground up in the American
machine .which appeared to be
rapidly completing a 105-mile arc
across the base of the Normandy
peninsula whence to break into
central France.
Capture Looms
More thousands were threaten
ed with capture by the advance
southeast of Torigni, where the
Germans were being pushed back
against the Vire river, and a new
ly blossoming British offensive
to the east which had scored an
eight-mile advance on a seven
mile front south of Caumont.
This British smash had taken
hill 309, the highest point of
land yet seized in the invasion
a 900 foot height just cast of St.
Martin des-Bcsaces, the hamlet
of Galet at the point of the sali
ent and a dozen other vilages.
