Battle Near Florence Grinds on as Axis Hold Reefs
British troops push toward Florence in Italy, taking a dominating height near Pistenea and advancing toward the western suburbs while Germans contest the area with mobile artillery. Mount Grillo falls to British forces near Arezzo as American Fifth Army sees limited action and fighting shifts to pacific patrols and bridge crossings across the Arno. RAF Mosquito bombers strike German targets in Calais and northern France, with heavy bombers focusing on bridges, depots, and fuel dumps, as Allied air forces claim substantial damage to rail, road, and shipping facilities from the Bay of Biscay to Norway. Water shortages persist in Florence due to blown pumping stations, with locals turning to a black market for supplies.
