Antwerp Falls and Walcheren Isolated as Nazi Guns Run Dry
British commandos and infantry overran Vlissingen, sealing the island of Walcheren and isolating the remaining German guns as Allied forces pressed toward Antwerp. American and British troops widened bridgeheads along the Maas river and advanced toward Rotterdam while operations in the Vosges and Nancy sectors pushed the German defense back. The capture of Vlissingen grants the Allies control of three harbors and key industrial sites. Canadian First Army totals over 100,000 prisoners since D-Day. General Patch’s Seventh Army and De Lattre’s French First Army advanced along a 14 mile front toward the Vosges passes, with gains at Baccarat and surrounding villages. Also noted: Klaipeda’s historical Lithuanian name Memeel.

China Denies U S Turning on the Heat
Chinese Foreign Minister T. V. Soong denied reports of an American cure for China’s Communist problem and forecast a new China U.S. relationship. He attributed Stilwell’s recall to personality clashes with Chiang Kai-Shek, while praising Wedemeyer’s appointment and welcoming Nelson’s return to boost war production. He linked Gauss’s resignation to nothing about Stilwell and said U.S.-China talks have been friendly though some abroad misinterpret criticisms.
