its Remagen-Bonn east Rhine
front up to' two miles against
amazingly slight German opposi
tion. Gen. Eisenhower visited the
ninth army front duriruj the at
tack and inspected divisions and
preparations.
German Commander Seised
The German commander at
Wesel was seized and the gener
al commanding flank artillery
was killed.
Troops pushed up to two miles
east of the Rhine on the north
German plains. Hundreds of
nazis surrendered. Those who
fought were cut up by thousands
of artillery shells and bombs.
Coordinated with massive Rus
sian attacks in the east. Gen.
Eisenhower had unleashed up
wards of 1,250,000 combat troops
in eight or nine armies In a
climactic onslaught to bring Ger
many to her knees within
weeks. His 82 identified divi
sions, 22 of them armored, were
equipped as no armies before
them ever were.
The Ruhr was caught between
the .American first army's
original Rhine bridgehead op
posite Remagen and Bonn and
the new crossing by Field
Marshal Montgomery's troops to
the north German plain.

Further south, Lt. Gen. George
S. Patton's third army rapidly
expanded its upper Rhine cross
ing at a point between Mainz and
Worms, 302 miles from the Rus
sian front and 263 miles from
Berlin. The chemical capital
Ludwigshafen finally fell. The
u. a. ytn army virtually com
pleted the cleanup of the con
quered Palatinate.
Elements of the Canadian first
army crossed the lower Rhine
hard behind the Americans and
British. The offensive great
est since D-day thus involved
four allied armies and four air
forces as well as the U. S. and
British navies. Lt. Gen. Lewis
H. Breretokj's allied first air
borne army was operating deep
er inland behind German lines
violently assaulted by foot
troops.
The new offensive was de
scribed officially as "off to a
good- start and according to
plan." Some 15 to 20 German
divisions of doubtful size op-
posea tne massed allied might
from old style tranches and
hastily constructed gun positions.
