PAGE EIGHT War News Analyzed By ROBERT E. GALBRAITH Faculty Counsellor of Veterans The outstanding military move of the past week is unquestion ably the aerial assault on Holland by General Brereton’s airborne armada oC paratroopers and glid er-borne infantry. A feat of un precedented magnitude, carried out in broad daylight last Sunday, this maneuver placed an exper ienced force (three divisions the Germans say) close to the soil of •Ihe Reich, not far from Cleve, the rumored anchor of the Sieg fried Line, where a few swift thrusts will outflank not only the Line, but the defenses on. the Rhine. By the middle of the week, Dempsey’s 2nd British Army had closed the forty .mile gap from the border of Belgium and Hol land to the advanced posts of the •sky-flying forces. The new land ings put the Western.allies within 310 miles of Berlin, or two miles closer than the Russians’ lines around Warsaw. The captured harbors of Brest, LeHavre, and Boulogne open our supply line. Elements of Patton’s armor have pierced the Siegfried Line in several places, but the break through at Aachen, that was headed for Cologne, has now met stubborn and fanatical Nazi coun ter-attacks. Although slowed down, the Yanks are slogging ahead through the mud that re sulted from autumn rains. The American 3rd Army is pounding Metz and heading for the Strasbourg bastion, where it will team up with General Patch’s 7th Army aiming for Belfort. A further plague to the Nazis is the outbreak in Denmark, where riots and strikes necessi tated the blowing of a false air raid alert to clear the streets of the capital of Copenhagen. Dur ing the interval, the SS disarmed the Danish police and took over the headquarters to quell" the up rising. Another blow to Nazi morale 'was the surrender of Finland to the Russians. Not only did the Finns capitulate and agree to bard armistice terms, but they have turned on their former al lies and are driving the Germans out of the Finnish territory. This is -the third satellite country to join the Allied Nations within the last two weeks, the others being Rumania and Bulgaria. The Russians are said to be clearing the remnants of Hitler’s Raltic armies from their last strongholds in Estonia and Latvia by throwing more than a million men .into the push. The Soviet successes north and south of War saw are bringing the end of re sistance there within sight. Stal in’s Ukrainian Army, having ov errun Rumania and Bulgaria, have called on the armies of these countries to join them in the at tack aimed at Hungary. All commentators remark that the close of the war with Ger many, must come within the next month if only the Allies can find authorized representatives of the Reich with whom they can “make peace.” It is feared now that the beaten units will surrender •piecemeal, while guerrilla war fare will be continued by the fan atical Nazi youth and the SS troops who have gone under ground. In the South Pacific, the fight for the Palau Islands is about over, but the victorious Marines say that the going was tough— as tough as any battling they faced on Guadalcanal, Saipan or Tinian.

The one bleak note from the East is the news that Chennault’s Kweilin base for the B-29’s had to be destroyed in the face of the Nip approach on their drive to cut China in half. If they suc ceed, the Sons of Heaven will be able to threaten any proposed bases that Nimitz plans along the China coast. However, from the .Rooseveit- Cliurchill meetinfg at Quebec comes the news that plans are under way to conquer “the barb arians.” Though no further de tails of strategy were announced, previous “meetings” have always been followed by Allied victories that seemed to have been planned by the President and the Prime Minister.
