Antwerp’s port and unloading power could unlock western front supplies and a major thrust to Berlin. Clear approaches must be secured promptly to allow a grand allied push with the Russians in the east and western forces. Warsaw must fall to unite transport lines for a final push against Hitler.

Supreme Headquarters announces a military government plan for occupied Germany. Brig. Gen. Julius C. Holmes says new laws suspend German sovereignty, allow posting proclamations, and place authority in the supreme commander.
