Superbornbera based on captured western Pacific Island: blazed a new trail to Tokyo. The air siege of Japan aimed at her widespread war industries had begun.

in Europe, French-American break-ihroughs were being swiftly exploited to sweep Alsace, and all France, free of Germans. Allied forces recaptured part of Strasbourg, French Rhine bank metropolis. which had been the last French city of consequence in German hands.

These were headline rating developments. but to Geri. Eisenhower and his Joint staff at Allied Supreme Headquarters in the west, thcrc were other items in the new: from the front probably of cvcn greats-r moment.
