Nice Taken Without Fight By 7th Army
The 7th Army drove German forces from Clary village five miles northeast of Montelimar last Monday night and retook it the next day. Farther north in the Alps south of Franco-Swiss frontier, enemy forces moved from passes like Larche and Mt Genevre as they withdrew toward Lyon. Swift French assaults reached near Bourg-Saint-Anneol while German refugees faced hard rides to the frontier, with Nazi losses from ambushes reported high. Allied patrols and swarming high altitude airstrikes targeted survivors fleeing to Lyon's communications hub.
