German refugees stream westward toward American lines from Cologne as three American divisions push in, with civilians carrying belongings and children amid a shattered city. US units claim control of about one fifth of the city while Nazi defenders withdraw to the old town near the Rhine. The heavy fighting centers on a city of St Louis size with many basements searched for soldiers and civilians moving from western suburbs as areas are converted to military use. The note adds that the first railroad across the Panama Republic was built.
