...third week ended, the French reported severe German counterattacks on the Blies Valley salient to relieve French pressure on Zweibrücken. A mass of fast light German tanks was said to have been smashed up at the French wire by anti-tank fire, the wreckage of 20 of them blocking the passage of heavier German tanks.

In important raw materials Germany has an exportable surplus of only two things: coal and chemicals. With a few industries (such as the electrical and dyestuff industries) the Germans have worked wonders.
