Germans pull armor from Ardennes front says Montgomery
Field Marshal Montgomery’s headquarters report evidence that German armour is being withdrawn from the Ardennes salient over the last ten days. The moves appear defensive as Germans fall back to strongpoints rather than a continuous line. Allied observers note heavy artillery duels, limited German reserve commitments, and ongoing probing by Allied forces along the St Vith La Roche corridor.
