Both Allied and German renorts indicated prospects of tank clashes still more fierce than those in progress. Canadians plunging southward east of Bayeux could see the Germans ahead assembling for new efforts. A dispatch said the Canadians there late yesterday were bracing themselves for an expected counter-attack after having fought off one fierce probing thrust. In that attack, Germans sent 30 to 35 tanks at a time, into action but Canadian infantry, strongly supported by their own tanks and massed artillery, drove them off. German tiger tanks were reported moving up from the Falaise sector the inland area some 30 miles from the sea where the Germans have been reporting Allied airborne units.

Axis broadcasts said "superheavy" British tanks had landed.

Berlin previously has identified American troops in action there. It was apparent that vital roads in this area, leading to the prize port of Cherbourg, had been denied the Germans. Half of the main highway arteries of the entire peninsula run through this town. Definite reports of progress were meager at supreme headquarters. It appeared the Allies had reached an interim stage where tired troops were pushing forward more slowly in order to ge, their second wind and let supplies catch up with them.

The weather was described as "only fair," and unloading conditions were none too good. The Germans continued to broadcast reports of new Allied landings at various points on the Cherbourg peninsula, but the Allied command mentioned no such operations. The Germans declared they had identified the American First, Fourth and 29th Infantry divisions and the 101st Air-borne division in action in that area. Supreme headquarters announced the American first was in the forefront at the original landing.
