We are about half way to our objectives. 30th Corps has just secured Grave and is now
advancing towards Nijmegen. The 503rd Airborne Regiment of the American 82nd
Airborne Division is fighting on the outskirts of Nijmegen. Elements of the
9th SS PanzerGrenadier Division are putting up very stiff resistance. Those
airborne boys need our help to secure the vital Waal River bridge. We have
also received reports that the Germans are mustering forces to attack our
flanks along the main highway. Keep an eye open for those threats. We cannot
afford to be cut off from our main supply line.
