War "Sftuation Last Nijgwht

"'°‘Y_—“ m- "-

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON, Associated Press War Analyst

Even on lngomculo European maps. the Amerlcammade Ubaoh- Bezgcndorf dent in the Gcrmbu Slegfrl Line defences lust north of halLenelrclod Aachen looms oddly small for the importance attached to it In both German and Allied battle concepts.

Its Indicated north-south base Ilne along the GermamNetherlauds frontier measures some eight miles at most. Its eastern apex at Beg. geudorf lies hardly three miles within Germany. Yet what is happen. In: or mcy soon happen within that meagre salient could write the name of some little German hamlet into history as the scene of one of the decisive battles of this war.

The crisis of thefight is close at hand by every criterion. Its ll‘!- proach can be read into the desperation with which enemy commanders are seeking to plug the leak In the Siegfried defensive dike before I flood tide of American armor comes rolling through.

FrontJlno advices confirm the impression that. shallow as lt still ls, the UbachJfeggcndorf salient has definitely pierced German fixed defences. Advancing tanks and foot troops are dealing now with extem. porized German defences, with foxhole stands and slag-pile gun nests. Mobile batteries rushed up lu a frenzied effort. have replaced fixed fortification: left behind In the 1st Army push.

Field reports say the immediate trend of the American advance be. yond captured Bcggendorf is east and southeast. Coupled with the dormant and even deeper American salient south of Aachen reaching eastward beyond Stolberg, a rlrig of steel ls being slowly forged about Aachen itself and its German garrison. A second northward escape route. the AachemGladbuch highway, has been cut by American troops leaving only the multiple roads to Cologne open to the Aachen garrison for retreat.

Capture of Aachen. or its mclrclemcnt. still seems but an Incidental objective of tho lat Army offensive, however. Judged by the terrain difficulties involved, its major purpose must be turn northward once a deep break through ls attained, striking along the flat lands of the plain west of the Rhine in rear of the AachemKleve segment of the Siegfried Line against which American and British comrades are exerting “m. tlnuous pressure short of full scale attacks.

Serious undermining of that German frontier defence system from

the South must inevitably lead to an enemy flight behind the Rhino it I

self. and expose the Arnhemjtmmerlch Netherlands gateway to the north German plain to British assault. Thero were definite indie "

that. a new British breakthrough drive from. the now fairly cunlolidatg] bridgehead over the main Rhine-north of Nijniegen ls close at hand. (
