British Unit Loses Hold On Ruhr Area
London AP reports the Arnhem breakout ended with a retreat across the upper Rhine of the British "Red Devils" nine days after the Holland invasion began. The withdrawal cost the unit the Ruhr toehold, with German claims of 1,500 killed and 6,400 captured. Allies still pushed deeper into Holland, opening a 50 mile corridor from Belgium as British, Belgian, and Dutch forces pressed toward the Maas and into Germany. The Red Devil division had earlier enabled Nijmegen’s bridge hold and accelerated the invasion, while British second army expanded the corridor and secured a second supply road.
