Brit- - Chronologically it was the Eighth army's successful storm of the Akarit line which led to the union of the British and Americans in southern Tunisia But the British are the first to point out that the manner in which these American infantrymen with their excellent artillery staved oft repeated German tank thrusts dur- ing the Mareth offensive and continued to hammer Rommel's flank while Montgomery got ready for the Akarit attack counted much in the scales for the allied breakthrough Rommel's position grew more critical hourly Front reports said that General Patton's American troops in the 31aknassy sector 45 miles to the northwest had cleaned out axis flank positions to gain elbow room for another lunge toward the sea in an effort to cut off Rommel The Americans were only 28 miles from the axis coastal road in this sector and another U S column southeast of El Guetar was beating down axis resistance in order to join the Eighth army In Churchill's own words the British power drive on the coast paved the way for a junction between the British and Americans Rommel's fleeing men were be- ing raked by allied airmen participating in the greatest aerial armada ever hurled into action in Africa At least 500 planes bombed and strafed Rommel's rear airfields Tuesday in coordination with the Eighth army land blow while others striking at Sicily and the Mediterranean narrows off Tunisia sank or damaged at least 17 more axis ships This allied aerial performance was reported to have eclipsed Monday's 1000 sorties and reconnaissance has established that the Monday raids alone resulted in the destruction or damage of 150 parked enemy planes in Sicily and Tunisia Big Guns Speak A concentration of hundreds of British guns—Churchill said 500— opened the Wadi Akarit barrage which broke the back of Rommel's defense line in the darkness early Tuesday morning British and Indian infantrymen through holes torn in the plunging German-Italia- n positions quickly overwhelmed two hills anchoring the Wadi Akarit line in the west Tanks and mobile infantry also poured through the breaches The enemy "fought with savage said vigor to restore the situation" Churchill "but all his counterattacks were repulsed By nightfall the open country had been ish reached" i - - ' 50 East Broadway 4 1 1 ?r7 ( k A order" AN EAST COAST CANADIAN of PORT April 7 fighting men of the British empire ready for action on land air or sea and hopeful of opening a new front and a group of De Gaullist French seamen off the battleship Richelieu and other French vessels berthed in the United States sailed from here recently en route to Britain Their arrival overesas was announced Wednesday night Among the thousands sent across from this foggy port were principally Canadian army men but the movement included also hundreds of RCAF air and ground personnel Anzac and British ' airmen from the combined training program in Canada and 70 men of the Royal and Canadian navies Several nursing sisters of the Canadian army and an officer of Britain's auxiliary territorial service returning home from a secret mission on this side made the crossing The French sailors are en route to service with the Fighting French of General Charles De the-Countr- They had "deserted" the French war vessels shortly after they arrived at New York Boston and Philadelphia from Dakar in French West Africa The fact that their taking of "French leave" caused international complications among the representatives of the French factions and the United States government did not worry them at all They stuck to their original as sertion that some of the officers aboard their ships were definitely y although that has been denied since by the commanding officer of the Richelieu and other French navy men They said their officers while at Dakar were openly favoring the cause of Hitler and the Vichyites and hoped for a victory for the axis After they sailed for America the sailors said they toned down their views and pretended to be more friendly to the united nations Another reason for joining De Gaulle they agreed almost unanimously was the fact they hoped to get into action soon "While those ships are still being fixed in America we will be fighting submarines in the Atlantic" one Breton sailor said Snit Ceiling pro-Vich- 1 ( Infantry Moves An hour before the barrage opened the infantry moved into position close to the enemy lines Behind the creeping barrage they moved forward in the darkness to wipe out enemy gun positions and bridge the wadi ditches for armor It was their job to storm two heights called Fatnassa and Roumans overlooking the entire front and giving the enemy strong gun positions and observation One prong of the attack was directed at clearing the gap between Ese heights while the other moved to the east of the peaks The British stormed the heights under the cover of artillery fire and smoke screen taking cover in every natural protection to reach the enemy gun positions Rormnel's retreating army "is being hotly pursued" he added An allied communique said 5000 axis captives were taken in the first phases of the operation But a later announcement said additional prisoners had been rounded up Most of the prisoners were reported to be Italian an indication that the German leader had characteristically abandoned them and withdrawn his elite German armored troops Rommel's next defensive hope was to make a stand near Cekhira between the sea and the Sebkret salt marsh 30 miles north of Gabes But the British now have broken into a flat coastal terrain and the American troops at Maknassy also were a distinct flanking threat to any stand in that sector Early Decision Seen The swift pursuit of the British suggested an early decision in all southern Tunisia General Montgomery as usual had carefully assembled a strong striking force of men and materials before launching his latest drive Rommel's skill in retreat was being put to new teats and his forces arrayed against the flanking Americans obviously were in difficulties because of the rapid British' sweep northward These axis troops defend a norrowing triangle between the coast and El Guetar and Maknassy Twice checked by stubborn axis road defenders on the Gafsa-Gabe- s the American column nine miles southeast of El Guetar resumed its attacks with growing
