An Allied spokesman called upon the tens of thousands of trapped Germans to surrender. There was no other choice. he said-except death.

ATTACK OUTER DEFENCES

Headquarters Communique N0. 30 issued just before midnight said the American troops now were “attacking the outer defences of Clierbourg” and were engaged in heavy fighting on three sides of Valognes, 10 miles south- east of the prize port.

Of the eastern end of the l00-inile Normandy front the Communique said: “Our positions in the area of Tilly are firm. Ver-y heavy fighting continued near Hottot.”

In that area, British forces in liand-to-hand combat fought their way through long-contested Tilly Sur Seulles to a point two miles southwest where they captured the village of I-Iottot Les Baques and beat off two German counter-attacks.
