BREMEN BATTLE
NAZIS FALLING BACK Some Still Expect Hitler To Save Germany Ree. 2 p.m. LONDON, April 9. The battle for Bremen is beginning and the Germans . are falling back on the suburbs, states the British United Press correspondent. The Germans are so much on the run that they have had no time to get dynamite gangs, working. „ . "German gunners around Bremen are shelling our lines with selfpropelled guns which they move at night time to take up new positions; but the enemy has lost nearly all his big guns and ammunition dumps," the correspondent adds: "Every shell screaming over .our lines brings the Germans nearer the end of their resources. With every war factory under .fire from the air and all his' communications being bombed and-gunned throughout the day, the enemy ought to know that his efforts have only nuisance value. Our Long Toms and field artillery, are now in position in ,great strength around Bremen and more guns, are moving up hourly. ' -' \ • "It seems unbelievable but among the prisoners there are still somp who think Hitler can produce some sort of last-hour wizardry to save Germany, and even win the . war. These men appear to believe that so long as there is a German alive he will fight even behind our lines.
