GERMAN COUNTERBLOWS
ENEMY BRIDGEHEAD REDUCED DUTCH FIGHT WITH BRITISH (Received Sept. 30, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 29. A German counter-attack launched up the road from Kranenburg, eight miles south-east of Nijmegen, gained some local success, says the British United Press correspondent with the British Second Army. The Germans took 200 yards of ground. Fighting is continuing. The enemy bridgehead over the Lower Rhine has been reduced to a number of scattered troops and has virtually been eliminated. Determined German resistance at fichijndel has temporarily held up the British thrust toward Hertogenbosch from north-west of Stoedenrode. The Germans are using Schijndel as the focal point of their defence system, but British tanks are rolling into action against it. It is revealed that hand-picked Dutch commandos, brought from Burma to Britain, landed with and fought alongside the British airborne troops at Arnhem.
