I GERMANY I
Although France was the first
country to feel the impact of Allied
strength, United Nations’ leaders
promised to strike through Norway
and the lowlands in their war for
liberation.
The area indicated in white on the above map is the Nazi defense zone. Continued bombing of key
communications lines complicated the enemy's transportation problems and the past months of hammering
at the German Luftwaffe so weakened that unit that the Allied air force dictated terms on which they should
meet. Several weeks ago it was reported that Field M-ushal Erwin Rommel had moved approximately a
quarter of a million men to that area.

As Trees Twist
When the grain of trees twists it
generally goes around to the right
as it ascends. A left twist is not
unknown but is unusual. Thus,
there are right and left-handed
trees, with the former predom
inating as do right-handed individ
uals.
