Completely encircled in the industrial Ruhr-Germany's last important source of coal, power and war machines-were some 100,000 troops of Field Marshal Walter Model's Army Group B. Rapidly pulling out of The Netherlands in a race against the British was Field Marshal Johannes Blaskowitz' Army Group H. The British were well on the road to Bremen, Hamburg and Wilhelmshaven.

The three boys, traced through some model airplanes they had stolen from the school, are from decent but cramped homes. Questioned by police, they said that they were just having a little...

(The man in charge of operating that precious hammer, 49-year-old William Forster, received the British Empire Medal in 1943; but only last week, when the story was told in Parliament, did Britons find out why.) Already, those desperate days seemed far away...
