| 10 | Nothing further of event was reported. Our patrols continued to dominate the area. The force we have encountered in this phase of the battle consists of the 3rd and 5th German Paratp Divs. These divs have already suffered many cas and though, by PW statements, they are sadly depleted and battered, they remain a tenacious foe who, by skilful positioning of MGs and mortars, continue to harass our adv. Evidence tends to prove that these two Para Divs are now unified under one comd. |
