The
German
Counterattack
.
.
.
The
great
difference
between
the
present
situation
on
the
Western
Front
and
that
which
prevailed
in
the
Battle
of
Normandy,
whereas
in
Normandy
the
Germans
had
no
tactical
reserve,
now
they
have
one.
It
is
reasonable
to
assume
that
it
is
this
reserve
which
is
now
being
employed
for
the
counter-offensive.
The
Eifel
country
is
suitable
for
forming
up
troops,
since
it
provides
good
cover
from
air
reconnaissance.
On
the
other
hand,
it
is
not
good
terrain
for
an
advance
on
our
part
and
the
area
has
been
relatively
lightly
held
by
us,
as
compared
with
the
concentration
of
forces
on
the
Saar
and
Roer
Fronts.
This
latter
Front
is
vital
because
it
covers
Cologne
and
the
industrial
Ruhr,
and
it
has
lately
caused
the
Germans
heavy
casualties.
It
may
well
be
that
Rundstedt
came
to
the
conclusion
that
he
could
not
afford
to
hold
on
indefinitely
to
his
defensive
zone
along
the
Roer
at
the
present
rate
of
losing
men
and
equipment,
and
that
therefore
he
staged
a
counter-offensive
in
order
to
relieve
pressure.
He
may
also
have
hoped
to
reduce
our
pressure
on
the
Saar
Front,
an
area
where
the
Germans
have
lately
been
very
sensitive.
This
reasoning,
however,
cannot
lead
commentators
to
minimise
the
seriousness
of
Rundstedt's
attack.

continued
and

made
considerable
gains

Few
appear
to
be
fami.'iar
with
the
battlefront
there
so
a
brief
survey
of
the
front
running
fi'om
east
to
west
is
given.
On
the
left
flank
of
the
"Northern
Combat
Area"
(Lt.-General
Sultan's
Command),
the
Chinese
forces
have
captured
Bhamo,
and
are
halfway
along
the
road

Bhamo
south
east
to
Namhkam,
and
reached
points
about
fifty
miles
due
south
to
Bhamo.
On
the
right
flank
of
the
"Northern
Combat
Area"
Command,
the
thirty
sixth
British
Division
has
occupied
Idaw,
Katha,
and
Naba-lands,
advancing
south.
