...captured by the Allies was Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, 64, who piled up a great heap of German dead in his vain effort to take Moscow, and was known as Der Sterber ("The Dier"), because of his constant prating about the glory of death on the battlefield. On a roadside north of Hamburg last week British troops found Bock's body riddled by bullets, apparently from an Allied strafing plane...
George S. Patton's Third Army rolled along the Danube through Austria toward a junction with Marshal Fedor I. Tolbukhin's Third Ukrainian Army. Together they would cut Czechoslovakia from Austria, tear the entire side out of the mountain fortress the Germans hoped to hold. The British crossed the Elbe near Hamburg in the north for a drive toward Lübeck. The U.S. Ninth and the U.S. First, southwest of Berlin, broke out for more linkups with Russian troops...

Infantrymen infiltrated the green Vienna Woods to the west, slammed over the main roads, then cut swiftly to the Danube, north...

By their side moved 27 generals of Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's Second Ukrainian Army group and a Red Fleet Rear Admiral of the Danube Flotilla. Along a 90-mile front, from Lake Balaton to the Danube, 1,000,000 Russians were on the march. Others stormed over the Hron River north of the Danube...
