Fourth Metz fortress falls as U S Troops push near
U S troops seize Fort Yser near Orny and forts Aisne and Driant south of Metz as the Third and Seventh armies drive toward the city. Patton’s forces reach near the Moselle with 5600 prisoners in six days. British attacks widen from the Vosges to Holland, while German counterattacks are repulsed along a widening front. The pace raises questions whether Metz will be yielded without a fight.
