The disintegration of the German armies in the west continues a pace. Allies took 300,000 prisoners in the first fortnight of the massive clean-up operation in east of the Rhine. During the latter period the enemy lost about 25,000 in killed and wounded. This proportion of seven men stir rendering for every man knocked physically out of action is a significant index of the scope of the German breakdown. For the dual purpose of doing honor to the Allied fighting team and of preventing the post-war rise of Nazi mythology about another "stab in the back," it cannot be emphasized too often that Germans in the west have been defeated by superb generalship, superior fighting skill and extraordinary logistic achievements.
