Celles Recaptured Destroy 9 Bridges
American troops halted the German thrust near the Meuse advancing to recapture Celles and its tip while the Ninth Air Force reports seven of nine main rail bridges on the Nazi supply lines destroyed.

Encircled American forces near Bastogne receive encouragement as German resistance remains stubborn but ground gains continue. Brussels radio hints at relief column breakthrough linking encircled troops. Northern flank quiet though German buildup and movements unseen fronts north rise.
