Proclamation Not Expected To End Fighting In Reich (Continued from Page One) rfmibt” of mountainous southern Germany and northern Austna between Lake Constance and Berchtesgaden, whose approaches jbeady echo to the clamor of American and Russian arms. Both present the drab prospect of long and bitter campaigning. In the north, besides the ports— always stubbornly defended by the Germans—there is flooded western Holland, perhaps Denmark and Norway. Norway might take months to clean out. The same is true of the southern retreat, a mountain-bound natural fortress which, if the Nazis could hold out through the fall, would be made doubly formidable by the snow and ice of tire mountain passes. It is not suggested that the Ger mans will be able to turn southern Germany into the fortress the Nazis hope for. The speed of the Russian and American advances is bring ing the end near even faster than the Germans calculated. Just when the Allied’ victory proclamation will come after the die-hards are shoved into their last comers will depend upon the ex tent to which the German fighting force is broken down in the process. ! ---V OKINAWA ASSAULT REPULSED BY U.
