beautiful Normandy countryside
i is being rolled under the crush-

S fare.
The horrors of war are de-
: scribed in a report from United

i He tells of tanks grinding u.n-
i der rose bushes, whole fields n:
I blood-red poppies end rich be-
gonias. High explosives are
i splintering trees. And whole
{towns and villages are being
| burned: and blasted to complete
i obliteration.
The Norman countryside that
| McMillan describes has been a
j no man's land between elements
i of the Second German panzer di-
j vision and British armor He
I savs that even now the barrage
I swings to and from across a val-
; ley in which one can pick up
| the smoking ruins of German
! tanks,
i The valley is littered with
broken field guns, discarded
j equipment and«jiuddled forms in
field grey or khaki.
