October 21, 1944 issue

The article presents information on several issues related to the Second World War. Friday the thirteenth lived up to its reputation in Germany. American troops entered Aachen, Germany, bringing war to a German city for the first time since the Napoleonic invasion. German prisoners from first-class units on the western front showed high morale during the invasion. Dictator Adolf Hitler's desperate effort to continue the war into 1945 may fail or succeed depending upon developments in East Prussia, Poland and Russia, and the Rhine region during the coming fortnight. But one thing is already certain: there will be guerrilla warfare in Germany even after the collapse of the regular Nazi armies.
