AT THE GATES OF GERMANY Allied Army Reported Hav ing Crossed The Border And The Battle of Ger many Now On Allied Supreme Headquarters, London, Wednesday, Sept- 6.? Hundreds of United States heavy bombers blasted the Nazi bastion of Karlsruhe in perhaps the open ing blow of the Battle of the West Wall and early today an Allied spokesman called ou slave labor inside Germany to "rise and sab otage" because "the hour to strike has arrived." As American armor deployed against the West Wall, German's last ditch-defense line, Allied headquarters imposed the closest secrecy yet on the movement of our vanguards, and speculation developed that Germany might be presented with a surrender ulti matum. Scores of rumors and unofficial reports also came in radio broad casts and neutral dispatches, . in cluding one which was regarded as "plausible," but was not con firmed that American troops had captured the German cities ' of Saarbruecken and Aachen. The late evening headquarters briefing yielded confirmation of front reports, days old. that Am erican troops had liberated the Belgian fortresses of Kamur, 30 miles below Liege, and had enter ed Nancy in the old Maginot Lino 50 miles from Saarbruecken. Near Boulogne To the West, British and Cani dian troops drove to within three miles of Boulogne across the channel from Diver'B cliffs, cap tured the big French industrial center of Lille; and in the mop up of Belgium, occupied Louvain, 18 miles east of jubilant Brus sels. The Brussels radio said that Al lied columns were only three miles from Dunkerque and other reports said that history was re peating itselfxm that port's bea ches as the German garrison at tempted to evacuate by means of scores of small motor and diesel craft. Polish troops attached to the Canadian First Army captured St. Omer. 20 miles inland from both Dunkevque and Calais, while Brit ish forces working with the Cana dians cracked into the main de fenses of LeHavre, supported by a 1,000-ton RAF bombing of the besieged port. At the southeastern extremity of the twisting 280-mile front, American units below Nancy were reported unofficially only 90 mil es from United States Seventh vanguards moving up the Saone Valley from Southern France.
