Goering Described as Dangerous but Notirresistible War Leader
War analyst Dewitt Mackenzie notes Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering is a formidable Nazi figure in Allied custody, alongside Von Papen and Himmler, with Himmler sought for mass abuses. The piece emphasizes Goering’s leadership, organizational skill, and role in Reich-wide war preparations, while cautioning against overestimating his charm or influence.

Press Guidance No 1 lists categories not to release: military information harmful to the Allied war effort, unauthenticated or false reports, and material likely to injure morale or relations among Allies. The third area raises questions about political security and wartime alliances.

Asa Estuary Crossed as U S Marines Press Naha Front
Sixth Marine Division bridged the Asa River estuary at Okinawa despite two Japanese suicide attacks aimed at the span. Major General Lemuel C. Shephard Jr.’s force, the third fresh unit in a week, forced the crossing in darkness. Nimitz reported 38,857 Japanese and 16,425 American casualties through early this week, with limited gains elsewhere on the southern front. An aerial rescue evacuated 494 Marshallese natives from Jaluit during a Japanese counterattack, while Japanese air strikes damaged two auxiliary vessels and one death-defying ship escape narrowly avoided by a U S flagship.
