THIS map of the lcmds throu9h which American soldiers and our .L Allies have been fighting their way toward Berlin is dedicated to the wives, sweethearts and families who want to follow the progress of the units with which their men are serving. The beach­ NORTH head on the Normcmdy peninsula where the first landings were made and where the invading troops fought bitterly for weeks to hold SEA ~... their own, is shown in red. The arrows indicate the progress of the MEPPlN • UAKENtRUCK Allied Armies following the break-through on July 18, when St. 1.o REAT YARMOUIH was captured and the sweep across France began. The dates on NORWICH• which the most important cities fell into the hands of the Allies are o1 uron shown near the names of the cities,
