French Take 5 Mountains Near Tunis Front
AP dispatch from London and Algiers reports French forces driving to a position just over three miles from the German Tunisian stronghold at Pont Du Fahs. Allied headquarters says Germans retreat to the northern sector after yielding southern mountains and concentrating armor against tank-supported efforts by the British First Army. The French 19th Army Corps, bridging British First and Eighth Armies, captured five mountains with light opposition and eliminated a German salient into Allied lines. Colonel Jurgen von Arnim is believed to have moved most armor to fight British tanks east of Goubellat. Advanced U.S. elements reached three miles east of Sidi N'Sir, about 10 miles southwest of Mateur, as battles continue toward Tunis and Bizerte.
