l War Situation Last Night l

-----..___. l

' __'"'_'i'“ . By KIRKE L. SIMPSON (Associated Press War Analyst)

First reports of Nazi evacuation of the Metz-Thionvillc bastion Kliarding the Lorraine gateway to Germany and the Middle Rhine ap- llear premature, but no more than that. Both a hnrages of the lua enemy foothold in France however are close to unirelement by United States 3rd Army elements and due for capture or complete isolation soon.

lu each one twin brldlelieads threaten to cut the last. communica-

ol the Iii-mile Moselle spau between it and Melz seems certainly doom- ed. It has been cut off by American forces from direct contact with Metz and Oucy. A single highway and rall stem leading southeast- . ward to Germany are all that remain in German hands.

Meiz is in little better case. Two railroads and four highways eentring there from the east are still open. but. gravely meuaced by tlie American cro. of the Mnselle north of the city and the forcing of the Nied Line to the southeast. These two inner prongs of the Ain- erleun attack. at last accounts, were within roughly l0 miles of loin- inz hands tn complete the encirciernent of the ancient but powerful Metz fortified lone.

It looks on the maps, however. as though the 3rd Anny drive with flanking support by the Franco-American 7th Army to the south has oven broader objectives than forcing open the Lorraine gateway to the German frontier. An armored flying column which has already out the Metz-Sai-resbourg railroad west of Benestroff, some 30 miles south. east. of lVIetz, is unofficially reported swinging northeastvvard and to have reached the village of Bermcring. That ivay lles the most direct and open road to Saiirbrueken Just. within the German frontier on the Saar.

The forward stab of American tanks iii this theatre, well lu the rear of the Metz-Thiouvllle bastion, so Illl’ looks like an effort to repent oii a limited scale tlie break-through tactics at Avranches lu Normandy.

‘vtbllllfif conditions have thus far scaled down effective close air support of the drive. The progress made. particularly on the south face of the Nail Moselle bulge, despite that handicap indicates relative! German weakness.
