Allies Aid Civilians and Front Activities Across Italian Front
Allied forces aided civilians in northern city areas cut off by Germans while snipers remained inside the city. Germans retreated 500 to 1,000 yards near Fibbiana between Empoli and Montelupo as Italian front actions centered on patrolling. German shelling forced a southwest shift of Allied positions near San Colombano. Polish units advanced near Castelleone Di Suasa with heavy shell fire and river crossings. Rain slowed moves on the fifth army front, limiting contacts as 500 sorties by tactical aircraft hit southern France, Italy and Yugoslavia.
