As the war nears s confused end in Europe only two segments of Germany proper. of the pre-Nasl Reich, remain in German hands and not}: are ifelng squeezed out of existence between Allied and Russian

uea. -

Those segments are the ao-called "northern redoubt" north of the widened Russian-American Junction on the Elbe and still covering German North Sea and Baltic ports and the German end of the Danish Peninsula: and a much smaller appendix of Germany south of tho Don- ube reaching down almost into the Salsburg Alps in Austrih. Otherwise tho war is winding up in German-seized areas of Central Europe where creation by force of threat or force of Hitler's “greater Reich" began, in Austria and Czechoslovakia, and in the Italian Alps. The “father- land" of German song and story is almost all in the hands of United Nations conquerors.

It is more than osaible that even the small “ appendix in the south, the northern forefield of the Bavarian rcdoubt, has already been swept clear by an actual or ' ” ' ‘ usslan ’ " in the Danube valley. German radio broadcasts indicate that both the American 8rd Army spearhead driving down the Danube and Russian columns boring up river from Vienna are within touch of each other near Llnz.

Gen. Jacob L. Devers. command- er of the 6th Army Group. hailed the fall of Munich as the ac- complishment of one principal ob- jective of his army group and de- clared "it may well affect the final stages of the war to a degree second only to the full of Berlin.”

All organized resistance was crushed in the three-quarters of Munich lying west of the Isar River and Americans were crossing the stream to clear cut snipers from the final quarter.

More than 50 miles south of this reputed northern citadel of the Nazis‘ last-stand fortress in- the Alps, other 7th Army tanks and infantry plunged into the Bavarian Alps l2 miles northwest of Inns- bruck at the northern end of the Brenner Pass. imperlilng the en- tire German position in the west third of the redoubt.
