Western Front reports say Germany plans a phased withdrawal across the Rhine as Allied pressure increases. German reserves are being moved not for a final stand but to delay retreat, with attention to protecting Cologne plain. Patton’s Moselle threat and Canadian drive press Berlin defenses. Crossing points and bridges along a 50 mile Wesel to Cologne corridor remain contested and under aerial observation.
