Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst Allied armies. millions strong. stand ready to test anew the boasted lmpregnability of the German “welt wall" defences. Allied soldiers, from northern Holland to the Swiss border, stood face to face with every critical sector of those barriers, the lnvlncibllity of which already has been disproved in the Aachen breach to the Rucr. Yard by yard the Germans were being hounded out of their inst footholds elsewhere beyond their frontiers, except in the extreme norm, Their grudglng retreat obviously was dictated by dwindling manpower reserves. by expectation that the final assault would conic in the north where Allied supply problems now are solved. and by the certainty that the German high command can spare no troops from the Russian or Italian fronts. An unofficial recapitulation of estimated German army strength and dispositions ompiled at 21st army group headquarters sheds strong light on the German plight. It is presumably based on information gleaned by Allied Intelligence officers. While it credits the foe with up to 6.000.000 men under arms, only 1.250.000 are rated "really fit men" nf fighting age. That ls half the indicated strength of Allied ant-lies in the west alone. Tile frontline survey argues that the only German hope of meeting the manpower strain as the Allied and Russian attacks develop fully would be to fall back on shorter communication and defence lines deep within Germany Itself. If that is true in the west, however, it is even truer in the east. southeast and south.
