Allies Break Through Colmar Pocket In Western Front
Allied forces pushed through the Siegfried Line across eastern Monschau and near Colmar, trapping several German divisions in the Vosges. American and Moroccan units expanded to eight miles of gains, reducing the Colmar pocket to under 200 square miles as U.S. and French troops pressed toward Strasbourg and the Rhine. The 21st Corps broke toward Calmar and Milhouse, while Third Army routed along the Rhine near Neuf-Brisach, taking towns such as Cernay and advancing toward Euskirchen and Cologne within range of German communications.
