Otherwise tho war is winding up in German-seized areas of Central Europe where creation by force of threat or force of Hitler's “greater Reich" began, in Austria and Czechoslovakia, and in the Italian Alps. The “father- land" of German song and story is almost all in the hands of United Nations conquerors. It is more than osaible that even the small “ appendix in the south, the northern forefield of the Bavarian rcdoubt, has already been swept clear by an actual or ' ” ' ‘ usslan ’ " in the Danube valley. German radio broadcasts indicate that both the American 8rd Army spearhead driving down the Danube and Russian columns boring up river from Vienna are within touch of each other near Llnz.
