Allied armor reached the critical left flank covering front. in Ner- uinmly despite unfavorable i‘ weather in time to win the first round of the opening second phase of the invasion.

The mnln development cf tlir- fourth day of the invasion seemed to be British-Canadian success in beating back ‘counter-attacking German armored force; in the Caen sector.

Adverse weather to some extent limited the effectiveness of Alliedi air pcwcr in spotting and breaking up Nell tank and troop concentrations for counter-attacks. There is lllile doubt that the relatively high Allied air loss ratio so far indicated is traceable to weather conditions to a large extent.

The lnltlal phase cf the great. operations has passed with landings made and a beachhead estnblished.

It now remains to be seen whether the Germans can throw the Allies bask into the sea or break them up.

The biggest immediate danger to the Allies is the weather. The Al- lies must land enough equipment and troops to match. or oat-match, what the Germans can bring up from nearby depots and over inland lines of communications.

An American flying wedge of psrachutists and infan- irylnen has cut the main German communications lines to the potentially great landing-port of Cherbourg by cap turing Ste. Mere Eglise and sweeping on across the broad- gauge Clierbourg Peninsula railway and parallel highway in heavy fighting, it was announced.

ALLIED COMMUNIQUE

A communique issued shortly after midnight gave these additional points in reporting the fourth day of the Allied invasion of Normandy:-

Fnrtlier Allied gains have been made west and south- west of captured Bayeux.

Heavy fighting continues in all areas.

The weight of armor on both sides is increasing. Numerous enemy strong-points that originally were by-passed now have been eliminated.

The weather has deteriorated but the beaclilleads nevertheless are being developed steadily.

Poor visibility and stormy weather cut air activity to a miniature.
