BBC London reports:
"Heavy combat has resumed in northern Transilvania today, as reportedly mostly freshly committed German elements attempted a breakthrough on Romanian positions near the Marusza River. Romanian troops are reported to flee southwards and piles of smoke rise from local towns that were the focal points of the Allied advance.
Independent observers do not cease to ask: where are the Soviets? Are they even there?

(...)

In other news: a major attack by the Royal Air Force occured in Kaafjord in northern Norway today, as the aircraft targetted the recently discovered Kriegsmarine battleship Tirpitz. British navigators report heavy damage to the jewel of German naval effort (...) Lead elements of the 3rd US Armoured Division secured St. Vihn in Belgium - the last town before the pre-1939 German frontier. Thus the Allied units indeed stand at the doorway to the heart of III Reich (...) People of Luxemburg celebrate the liberation of their homeland that was occupied for exactly four and half years (...) Turkish military authorities report that two U-Boats have been scutled near Istambul today as what seems a German effort to avoid capture of the said submarines by the advancing Red Army.
