Americans attacking Metz
Wednesday, September 27, 1944 www.onwar.com

A breach view of 2 destroyed US tanks before Metz [photo at link]

On the Western Front... The US 20th Corps (part of US 3rd Army) begins attacks on the outer defenses of the fortress town of Metz. Meanwhile, the British 2nd Army achieves limited advances south of Arnhem in the Netherlands.

Over Germany... British bombers target railway marshalling yards east of the Rhine River.

On the Eastern Front... In Estonia, Soviet forces have eliminated most German resistance. The Soviet 2nd and 3rd Belorussian Fronts make an unsuccessful attempt to storm the German Sigulda Line, north of Riga. Meanwhile, Soviet forces land on Vormsi Island, west of Haapsula. In Hungary, there is heavy fighting around Cluj as German forces counterattack.

In Sweden... Ports are closed to German shipping.

“German Stand on Rhine through Winter Held Likely (Middleton)”

Yeah, now that Market Garden hasn’t crossed the Rhine or opened the northern ports, it’s time to Get Real.
