War Situation Last Night 4

By Elton C. Fay, Associated Press War Analyst (Substituting for Kirke L. Simpson]

A blind spot in the perspective of the German General staff appears to have helped pave the way for the mighty Allied attack on Chcrbourg from the land and air.

The Nani staff apparently failed to sec the menace in the Allied de- velopment of the technique of amphibious warfare, first evidenced on a massive scale in the north African landings flov. 7, 1942.

The great weight of defences on the Atlantic roast o! Europe appear to have been concentrated directly at the harbor mouths of the great ports Although this ls not to say that the hundreds of miles o! beaches were or are without their own formidable fortifications. It suggests the land-minded German General Staff was convinced the major Allied bid for the capture of (‘hcrbollrg would he made from the seaward slllo.

Tending to confirm this theory was a report from Supreme Hond- qnnrienl of the Allied expeditionary fol-cc that the Gcrltlttrfs own lllg- gest batteries at Cherbourg were useless in defending the city since they pointed out to sea and cmllrl not he trained to fire inland from their shielded hillton emplaeemvnts.

It ls unbellevenllle that the German staff's plans called for a quick withdrawal tn Chcrbourrr. leaving the whole band of the Peninsula in the hands of the opposition.

ations, that the enemy general staff must have lnchltlcd general counter- attack on the heachhetul in its straierlc nnltern. But the counter-attack had failed to develop until the hour that American troops allll Allied aviation becrall orlndlny on Chorhnurltfis fortifications.

So for as is known, the Germans have exhibited no immediate intcn- lion of gathering his: reserves for movement toward ltlnrlniultlv. This may Indicate that iho (‘rrmans still nrcfer in waif for expected additional landings, nerhans at Ilis-‘ant nnivlts. perhaps close. 1w lll operations that would endanger ilv "cults r‘ the Nazi army attomgrtin! h! flllllfllll "'1' Allied forces on the Peninsula.

ENCIRCLEMENT ALMOST COMPLETE

“Encirclement of the fortress of Cherbourg is now. almost complete,” Supreme Headquarters announced at midnight tonight.

While the inevitable Cherbourg denouement thus ap- proached, the British and Canadian forces 0n the eastern flank 0f the Normandy front continued to engage the German armor in a battle from which it could not extri- cate itself to counter-attack elsewhere.

HEAVY FIGHTING

The battle lines swayed to the give and take of blows, with no appreciable change in positions. Fighting was on a heavy scale around Hottot, southwest of Tilly Sur Seulles.
