American First Army troops'! i'.stride the Roer River in the vicinity of Monachau. 20 miles !i southwest of Duren, opened a i long-awaited assault against the; left flank of German forces 4e-^ ployed east of the river today andji smashed nearly two miles along ,'i both sides of the stream in a1' two-pronged thrust. Battlefront dispatches said Lt. j Gen. Courtney II. Hodges' Dough- ' hoy's farther north drove the ; Nazis from the west bank of the 1 Roer along a stretch of about five miles in the. fourth day of their all-out effort to smash the enemy salient across the river in th.? Duren area, and today's twin Kick off extending the First Army's' front to 25 miles in width turned the struggle for the gateway to the Cologne plain into a two-di-, mensional affair. Seventh Arny Checked On the south end of the Wes tern Front, meanwhile, the spec tacular drive of I>t. Gen. Alexand-I er M. Patch's Seventh Army to- 1 ward the German Palatinate was checked by blown bridges across; the wide Seltback River east of|; Haguenau and by jarring enemy;, counterattacks south of the bot- j der city of Wissembourg. Between the First and the Sev-ij enth armies, Lt. Gen. George S , 1'atton's Third Army measured j] its gains in scores of yards as it ] fought through a maze of pill- | boxes and fortified houses of the;] Siegfried Line on the outskirts of :1 Saarlautern. Although the Thirds ! artillery continued to blast Saar- ( brucken, there were no reports of , gains against the Saar capital. | For weeks Hodges has had troops stationed south of Mon-I schau on the east side of thj| Roer, which flows from Belgium past Monscliau and northward t past Duren, Julich and Linnich < before bending wes^ again to join > the Maas" in Holland. |j May Turn Nazi Klank ( While other armored and in- ( fantry units slugged thei r wa;'j( steadily toward Duren on both sides ,"t)f the Aachen - Cologne highway, these Doughboys today jumped off in a surprise attack that might turn the whole leftj flank of the German defenders of the Colosne plain. 100th COMBAT SORTIE 15th AAF in Italy. ?

These splendid people have not only over sold their quota but were over the top by December 1st, al though their report did not get Into headquarters in time for publication.
