"YANKS CAPTURE MOST OF COBLENZ AND CHASE 2 NAZI ARMIES IN SAAR"
"PATTON TANKS DASH 15 MILES TOWARD MAINZ"
- "The U.S. Army seized most of historic Coblenz by storm today as tanks 40 miles to the south ripped 15 more miles across rear lines of two fleeing German armies and were possibly only 21 miles from the great Rhine escape city of Mainz."
"AMERICANN SHELL YAMASHITA'S HQ IN NORTH LUZON"
"American troops, supported by Sherman tanks, pushed through the mountains of Northern Luzon today to within six miles of Baguio, headquarters for Japanese Commander Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita. Enemy positions around the city were being shelled by heavy artillery."
"MANY GERMAN WEAPONS BEAT OURS, YANKS REPORT"
"The American soldier believes that the Germans have many weapons besides tanks that are superior to his own. Next to the King Tiger tank in performance comes the German 88-millimeter gun, which is one of the best in the war. In addition, the Germans have excellent bazookas, automatic mortars, mines, booby traps and faster shooting machine-guns. They also have formidable jet airplanes, buzz bombs and rocket weapons."
