Correspondent Don Whitehead reported from Lt. -Gen. Courtney H. Hodges' headquarters. The crossing was made in a marshy area where the 100-foot river is canalized 1 except for one small and shallow stream on the east side.
(Concluded from Page One) ERFT CROSSED The Erft was crossed also at a place where there was no bridge. Americans were up to the river on a wide front and American artillery was raining shells into the Vorgebirge, a ridge filled with brown coal, just beyond the stream. In the 12 hours up to 9:30 a.m. (battlefront time), the First Army cleared out the towns of Esch. Elsdorf.
Angelsdorf, Vettweiss and Honnigen and had driven to a point near Grimich. Part of Norvenicher was cleared. Since opening the offensive six days age, the First Army has captured 60 towns east of the Roer River and more than 6.000 Germans for a total since D-Day of 251,231. SWIFT PROGRESS So swift was the progress across the Cologne plain that many German units were isolated from their high command and for this reason, the blackout was imposed upon Ninth Army movements. "Further advances were being made, A.P.
Correspondent Roger D. Greene wirelessed from Montgomery's headquarters In six days, the Ninth Army has counted 8.203 Germans who have streamed into prison cages, and many hundreds still are to be tallied. 9TH ARMY POSITIONS Under blackout restrictions, only these positions of Ninth Army units were permitted to be disclosed: 30th (Old Hickory Division) at Koenigshoven, on the Erft, and Garzweiler, 13 miles southwest of Duesseldorf. 102nd (Ozark) Division at Buchholz and Herrath, within four miles southeast of Muenchen Gladbach. 84th (Rail Splitters) Division at Waldniel, just west of Muenchen Gladbach.
35th (Santa Fe) Division at Wassenberg. Orsbeck and Luchtenberg, all about eight miles west of Erkelenz, long since passed by forward units. -Gen. George S. Patton's Third Army was encountering resistance in the Moselle Valley and the Eifels principally from minefields and strongpoints.
His Fourth Armored Division reached the Kyll River within two miles of Kyllburg, enemy strongpoint. Trier was being enveloped from the north as well as the south and southwest. The 76th (Onaway) Division reached a point seven miles northwest of the city and cleared Badenborn and Pruemzurley, between Bitburg and Trier. The Tenth Armored Division breaking up from the southeast captured 650 Germans; the whole Third Army 1,645 yesterday. The Fifth Division fought on in Bitburg, and centre of ten military highadvanced a mile east and northeast of that town of 6.200 along a three-mile front, clearing Masholder and Scharfbillig.
6TH CAVALRY The Sixth Cavalry crossed the Pruem River at two new points, advancing beyond Waxweiler to ground. The Fourth Armored Division mopped up areas it had overrun and bypassed in swift advances earlier this week. The 94th Division cleared Saarhausen, five miles southeast of Saarburg, and repulsed a -attack by capturing 150 of the 200 attacking Germans. Wasselbillig, at the junction of the Saar and Moselle Rivers, was cleared. Third Army despatches disclosed that the 87th and Infantry and Sixth Armored Divisions were attacking along the relatively dormant northern end of that sector and had reached a point six miles northeast of Pruem, less than 50 miles from Coblenz.

Here Ficklen 1945 Register and Tribune Syndicate A A HERC FICKLEN -O 2-2 OVERSEAS "Honest--this toughness of mine is all a sham- a lamb at heart- just gotta live up to these chevrons." German rout since -Gen. Omar N. Bradley broke German lines in Normandy last summer and opened the gates for Patton's historic dash across France.
The blackout hid news of what had the prospect of being the greatest American victory since that classic pursuit. The Germans were surrendering at the rate of 5,000 to 10.000 a day and the only resistance mentioned was described officially as "negligible to moderate." With the Canadians clearing the west bank of the lower Rhine and the American First and Ninth armies beating close to it where the river courses through the Ruhr. an uppermost question was whether the Allies would be able to win an immediate crossing. The Rhine is from 1.250 to 1.500 feet wide at Bonn: 1.300 to 1.700 feet wide at Cologne; and 3,270 feet wide at Emmerich. opposite which the Canadians stand watch.
WELL PREPARED It was considered hardly likely at this stage that the plan and equipment for a crossing have not been prepared. Fog and haze prevailed on the front early today, but the cloud cover was broken after two days of solid overcast which had kept fighter bombers grounded. Gen. Crerar told correspondents with the Canadian Army that his offensive. hitting the northern front with an avalanche of tanks, infantry and guns, was showing "very great promise." "The operation launched in great force Tuesday morning has proceeded so far according to plan and is showing promise of putting the enemy on the Canadian Army front in a very bad way," Crerar said.
His men at the time were engaged in heavy, confused fighting in the Hochwald thickets two miles southeast of Uedem, within 19 miles of Krefeld and 14 of Wesel, both Ruhr Basin industrial centres. His men crossed the Muhlen Fleuth River a mile east of Weeze on an intact, captured bridge. PRISONERS SCOOPED UP The American Ninth and First Armies in advances of 10 miles or more yesterday smashed through the outer defences of those two big Rhine cities, captured German prisoners by -the hundreds and toppled town after town. Elements of the Ninth reached the Erft River, last natural defence barrier before the Rhine. Lt.
-Gen. William Simpson's troops, sweeping to the north, were threatening the rail and industrial centre of Muenchen-Gladbach. They were within 30 miles of a junction with advance elements of the Canadian First Army, in a drive that imperilled the entire industrial Ruhr. In order to keep the apparently demoralized German forces in the extent of the Ninth Army breakthrough, a news blackout was imposed last night on all operations of Simpson's divisions. To the south U.S.
Third Army troops battled their way into the Eifel Mountain stronghold of Bitburg and streamed across the Bitburg-Trier highway in a general two-mile advance. A staff officer declared that "German resistance in this neck of the woods is kaput." The Ninth and Canadian First Armies threatened to outflank the biggest sector of the Siegfried Line still held by the Germans between Arnhem and Moselle, and possibly trap all enemy forces in the salient extending to the Maas River in the RoermondVenlo area. TEN- -MILE ADVANCE Crossing the highway between Muenchen-Gladbach and Roermond, the Ninth's 84th Division captured the town of Waldniel in a 10-mile advance that speared beyond -Gladbach on the west, and within 13 miles of Duesseldorf. Armored forces that drove beyond captured Erkelenz and through the big highway centre of Rheindahlen were less than three miles from MuenchenGladbach. A three-mile advance by the 30th Division placed Simpson's troops at Morken on the Erft River, with the Rhine a little more than 13 miles ahead at that point.
Tanks of -Gen. Courtney Hodges' First Army rolled into Sindorf, on Hitler's super -highway within miles of Cologne's outskirts. Sindorf is less than a mile west of the Erft. South of the Dueren-Cologne highway Hodges' Eighth Division crossed the Neffel River and fought into Ollesheim. Other doughboys entered Vettweiss, four miles northwest of Zulpich, while still others pushed south of the Roer's east bank and seized Thum and Nideggen, eight miles of Dueren.
Patton's Fifth Division, in addition to entering Bitburg, slashed the Bitburg-Trier highway in two places and captured Esslingen and Oberstedem His 76th Division cleared the east bank of the Pruem River all the way south to Irrel, cut the Bitburg-Trier road captured Niederweis, Gilxem and Kaschenbach. Nearing the Kyll River a few miles to the north, the Fourth Armored Division seized Fliessem, Nattenheim and Matxen 1945 Non-Stop Air War Pushed Over Reich Berlin Again Target Of R.A.F.

The assault was the most important development in Gen. Crerar's offensive. which scored a five-mile advance in the first 24 hours and netted more than 2,000 prisoners, while Canadians in the centre pushed ahead 10 miles. The Hochwald Line is the last Siegfried Bastion in the north between the Maas and the Rhine rivers. In addition to this fighting, there was activity across the whole front.

SOUTHERN BANK The army now holds more than 25 miles of the southern bank of the Rhine southeast of Nijmegen. Meanwhile it was disclosed that planning the Rhine offensive was the biggest job Gen.
Crerar's Headquarters had yet undertaken and it carried out the might task like a veteran of many campaigns. An all-Canadian staff at headquarters drew up the plans upon which the composite British-Canadian Army struck through the Richswald and turned south between the Rhine and the Maas. The initial phase--the turning of the northern end of the Siegfried Line -was so successful and the planning so skillfully done that high praise has been given Gen. Crerar and his staff for their work. This headquarters actually is the oldest among British field armies.
Formed in the spring of 1942, it has functioned as an army headquarters ever since. Headquarters officers have been trained at the British Staff College in Camberley or at its Canadian equivalent in Kingston, and it has been gradually built strengthened until now it is considered among the finest in the Allied armies.
