Allied armies press across Rhine as Patton’s men reach Mainz
World War II dispatches describe four Allied armies driving toward the Rhine, with Gen. George S. Patton’s forces advancing past Bitburg and reaching near Koblenz. German defenses crumble west of the river while pockets of resistance fade and strategic heights fall to American, British, and French units. In Rome unrest follows Roatta’s escape, triggering Communist protests and calls for government resignations if Don Pietro environments shift.
