IN BAD WAY
GERMANS IN FRANCE GENERAL MONTGOMFRY’S MESSAGE TO TROOPS London. Aug. 11 In a message to his troops. General Montgomery said: “We have been through some difficult times since D-Day. and on occasions patience and confidence have been necessary if we were not to falter. When the struggle was at its most critical stage there were some who doubted whether we could win through, but you and I had no doubts. "To day all is well. Our armies are moving relentlessly and swiftly into France. The great bulk of the German forces in north-western Europe are in a bad way. We are round them at many places, and it is possible that some of them will not get away. They will fight hard to avoid disaster, but let us make an effort to wipe off this powerful German force and so hasten the end of the war. “Our families are bearing up well against the flying bomb nuisance. Our thoughts are with them, because we are all in this together. We are determined to see his matter utterly finished. Complete victory lies ahead. Let us continue the battle with renewed and even greater energy.”
