Dull!!! this third clay of the of- fensive launched from the long- held salient east of the Orne River. British forces first seized bflBvIiluWflY station of Trcarn, and an infantry column struck out for St. Pair and high ground less than a mile south of Troarn.

It was not yet clear whether Nazi Marshal Rommel was ready to risk a. major battle on the south- east or was beginning a fighting withdrawal toward the French capital. But nowhere so far had he been able to stem the advance although he has lined up at least 5 1-2 divisions against this drive.

At least l0 more towns and vil- lages in this arc east of the Orne were swept up, driving the Ger- mans back from positions where their guns might interfere with free Allied use of the docks of the great river port of Caen.

With three more captured by American forces between St. Lo and Periers, this brought to at least 60 the number of localities liberated in eight days.

This was no lightning drive, and Gen. Montgomery, the ground commander, was feeling his way into the open tank country cauti- ously. Battlefront dispatches des- crlbecl it as a. campaign of "meas- ured advances." -

The German DNB Agency claim- ed Thursday in a report which lacked any Allied confirmation that "new Allied formations brought up to the front include s replen- ished Cunndlan 2nd Division which carried out the raid on Die pe."

T is unconfirmed enemy report asserted that divisions of "Pat- ton's Army" (evidently referring tc- LL-Gen. George S. Patton of the American Army), including Canadians and Americans, are engaged on the invasion front.

10 Important Enemy Targets Are Bumped

LONDON. July 20 _ (AP) Nearly 3,000 American warplanes smashed into Germany from Bri- tain and Italy for the tllircl straight day toduy and pounded at. least l0 important objectives in the Leipzig, Munich and Frlcdrichshu- fen areas, rounding out. the great- est lllassed till‘ llSSilllll. evcr mount- led against the cncllly.

A Major Offensive

Describing lhe assault which began July 11, an All‘ Officer at Allied Supreme Headquarters sold it was o. major offensive, greater than that which dealt the Lulf- waffe a staggering blow ill February this year, when the smashing of German aircraft factories and the slaughter of Nazi fighter planes in the air ensured Allied air su - eriorlty over the beaches on - Day.

The weather over Normandy con- tinued bad today, but Allied figh- ter-bombers and light bombers ranged to the south and east and hit transport targets.

Weather Is Bud

Despite miserable wcathe: whim made it difficult to observe bomb- lllg results, medium bombers struck another blow at ltonllncls dlvind- ling fuel and ammunition stores by attacking on important supply dump in Senonches forest, 20 miles southwest of Dreux. All mediums returned.

Since July ll the U. S. 8th end 15th Air Forces have sent 8,600 heavy bombers and 5.500 escorting fighters roaring against Germany in 10 separate attacks on scores of objectives cf prime importance to the Nazi war machine.
