Battle Westward
All along a 10-roile front, units of
the American Fourth division and
Bit 29th Air-Borne division were bat-
ttm* westward against strong resist-
ance in a drive to pinch off the pentn-
tw?Ja, and with It the prize port of
Cherbourg.
Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Horn-
stiel had thrown approximately 700
tanks into the fighting on the eastern
sector and appeared to be using
tar more infantry than the German
command Intended to use for the
defense of one comparatively smalt
section of the Invasion coast.
Despite early successes or. the in-
vasion front, a word of warning
came from Secretary of War Slirn-
*tm who said that Allied troops in
Normandy soon must face fiercer
counter-blows “than any we have
ever met." At the sarne time he
predicted they would smash ahead
until France is liberated and Ger-
many crushed.
While the troops on the Normandy
coast were fighting off the German
counter-attacks on land, resident* of
JSnglaisd itself were dealt a serious
“anti-invasion blow" when a fan-
tastic stream of pilotless Nazi bomb-
ers rained fire and explosive,, acroas
Tarawa they had to land over a
well-defended coral reef and like on
Guadalcanal, the Jap had himself
well entrenched it: good fortified po-
sitions which extended all the way
across that Jungle island. When the
beachhead on Saipan was estab-
lished there was still a long way to
go b.tt word from Adm. Chester W.
Nirritz' headquarter* indicated that
the Yanks were advancing.
Initial reports listed moderate cas-
ualties while the official bulletin re-
vealed that: "Virtually nil heavy
coastal and anti aircraft batteries on
the island were knoexed out by naval
gun fire and bombing ”
While these no longer worried the
Americans, they knew their test
would come In the inner jungles as
they faced the Jap artillery, mortar
and machine gun fire.
