The story order is mixed up today. The Stalin headline is first so that should be the lead article. I automatically put the right-hand column story first and didn’t notice the error in time to fix it. I apologize to all offended Stalin fans – HJS.

British 5th Corps troops on the move [photo at link].

In Tunisia... The British 5th Corps breaks through the Axis front and advances toward Tunis. The German 15th Panzer Division is destroyed in this new attack that is supported by massive artillery and air bombardment. Farther north, US forces advance on three axes toward Bizerta, Ferryville and Protville. The Free French 19th Corps approaches Pont du Fahs.
