...coming back after a month and blow up the whole damned town. I'd like to have two guns and be in a room with 18 policemen. I'd blow all their heads...
Speed and Power. The German defense was in the hands of Colonel General Heinz Guderian (TIME, Aug. 7). He had been made commander in chief of the eastern front in anticipation of the Russian blow. Guderian must have realized that at best he could hope only to delay such a tide of power as Zhukov could unloose.

The weather cleared at last, and a huge swarm of Allied fighter bombers set out to smash the enemy columns on the roads. It was good hunting, though probably too late to inflict more than superficial wounds. Even when the Yanks cut the main highway between Houffalize...
