The Greeks went quickly to work cleaning out the few snipers left behind.

By BILL BOSS (Canadian Press War Corres- pendent)

WITH THE CANADIANS 0N THE ADRIATIC FRONT. Sept. 21 —iCP Cable) - On the battlefield north of Rimini airport today the Canadians were burying the bodies of their comrades and those of the Germans slain in the Allied ad- vance on the eastern flank of Hit- ler‘s Gothic Line.

For 24 hours on Monday, On- tario, Quebec and Maritime- in- fantrymen fought a close combat struggle with Germans who strug- gledh fanatically from ditch to d tc .

On a plain as flat as a. billiard table and criss-crossed by a. net- work of irrigation canals and shallow ditches, the Germans had men at every ditch intersection, 11nd fortified every battered house. 11nd enlbeddcd tank turrets in con- crete at every strategic point.

‘They had platoon and company imadnuartcrs under road culverts and commanded the whole area.

Everything Favored Null:

Xi. scanned incredible today that the Canadians were able w strug- p.10 forward 1,000 yards in less than 24 hours to take this sector and beat out the Germans from

this type of obstacle when the Nazis had everything in their avor.

There were ruined houses where the Germans had mounted a gun in every window. commanding a view of all approaches. There were Panther tank turrets embedded in concrete and protected inside by three-inch armor plate. In a visit to the battlefield I saw two of them that had been knocked out: one by four 77-millimetre armor- pirrcing shots from a Sherman tank, the other by air bombing.

It “'21s these tank turrets that gave the Canadians on the ap- proach to the plain and the Greeks on their flank so much trouble.

It was a fierce, bloody and of-1 ten individual fight as the 08118-3 (Imus and Germans met at close‘ quarters. Many Germans lay dead! n! the end of it, but there were] Canadian dead too.

The Canadians are striving to hammer out a wedge yvest of Rimini which would outflnnk the Adriatic port and open the way for n battle across the Po Valley.
