This head-long attack. carrying into Germany the same sweep that had iron France and Belgium, found the line weakly defended in places and in some places dis- covcred that apparent defensive positions were fakes. _

The troops were wcii supported by tanks, but essentially it was an infantry victory-one of the greatest of the invasion.
