Six Reasons for Allied Delays From War Dispatch

War correspondent Virgil Pinkley of United Press lists six reasons the Allies have not yet smashed the Rhine line and reached Berlin: stiff German resistance, shortages of shells and gasoline, weather hindering air power and tanks, rough terrain, transport and port limitations, and German will to resist. He adds Germany’s material decline, oil shortages, and a spreading defeatist mood, with surrender likely only after severe fighting once Siegfried Line breaks. The piece notes the advance could come by next spring, with a strong push toward Berlin in force.
