Aachen Surrenders as Allies Push into German Soil
American troops moved about one mile east toward Duren after Aachen capitulated, with Thunderbolt bombers scattering leaflets and explosives along the Aachen Duren Cologne corridor. Canadian and British forces advanced along the Dutch Belgian border to clear the Schelde estuary, while nearer the Maas river allied units closed on an unidentified hub near the river. Rain hindered direct air support as German forces reportedly faced encirclement. Aachen, the first German city to fall on German soil, marked a pivotal Allied victory amid heavy fighting.
