Laurent, on the Isl it..wa.s learned tnda

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON (Associated Press War Analyst)

German reaction to the surprise breaching of the Rhine defence moat at Remagen has been on too restricted a. scale thus far to indicate enemy pious for ’ “ with the No ' ‘ ‘ “ ‘ nor even a concentration of depleted “ air power has been report- ed since the first American patrols reached the east bank.

That might be due in part to the desire of encmy commanders to await clearer evidence than is yet available as to just how and in what direction Allied leadership would attempt to exploit what certainly was an u ‘ ’ success. For the first three days after the easi- bank lodgement was gained, the efforts of the United States lst Army appeared aimed more at widening the bridgehead than at deepening it. Pressure secured ‘ northward. up river, also. than southward al- though more favorable terrain for expanding the bridgehead lies downy river.

In any event, enemy sensitivity to the extreme north flank of the line along the Rhine is obviously unrelaxed. It is in that area from Weael to E ‘ ‘ or Arnhem Berlin broadcasts now locale the missing]

ports or field Illlplllﬁhcl-

“ commentators say a tremendous Allied build-up for new llthlne crossings in the north is in progress, which may be true. It has always seemed probable that Gen. Eiscnhowe ‘s main effort to jump the river would fall in that sector. The flat. open ground of the Han- overian plain east of the lower Rhine offers better prospects of man- oeuvre warfare than the hilly. largely-wooded terrain back of the Coblenz-Colcgne stretch of the river. With the odds in numbers. mot- nrlzed equipment and particularly In air all in Allied favor, manoeuvres to come to grips with and destroy “ armies in the field must be a prime Eisenhower objective.

It la likely, therefore, that the German command is unwilling to

pull heavy forces out o! the line in the north to meet the Remagen

bridge threat until convinced that the Allied success there has brought

about a complete revision of previous plans. An even more dangerous

situation could result from an Allied crossing of the Rhine in the north

where no natural obstacles exist to help contain it than has yet de-

veloped from ‘ icon seizure of the Remagen bridge. f German reports credit the lst Army with having put up to twzvl divisions east of the Rhine in the first three days. That would imply nl total of anywhere up to 40,000 men with auxiliary elements. It would

take much greater forces both to obtain and consolidate a bridgehead, now substantially a doaan miiu wide and three to four miles deep and‘ also to furnish ample striking power for strategic exploitation of the

‘noxpootod . No commander would be willing ic risk an

army of such lilo with only I single, vulnerable bridge behind it to

ensure Ila communications.

If enemy military commentators an to be taken at face value. how-

ever. Gen. nhower, despite the Remagen crossing which chased

the whole tactical and strategic picture on the Rhine overnidhl. has

not yet abandoned his original plane for forcing the river in the north.
