ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
Algiers, Nov. 27. (U P)—
The RAF's heavy armadas struck , Berlin, the greatest of all German targets, a third' great blow with heavy burdens, of explosives and Incendiaries last night in the campaign to rub it from Adolf Hitler's reich. '
The fifth successive strike at the German capital and the third heavy assault since Monday night was
on the major industrial center of .Stuttgart, 300 miles to the southwest.
One of the enemy attempts to break Into American lines was blasted with artillery fire before it could get underway around Mignano, in the high ground near the main road to Rome northward from Capua.,
 Better weather along the fifth's front allowed the Nazis to step up the pace of the fighting. It was the first activity on the fifth front in several days.
                                                          Crossing Sangro
Despite a two-foot rise in the already flooded Sangro, the British eighth army extended its bridgehead along tho stream and threw new bridges across it, operating under • protection of what official reports described as a "creeping barrage" laid down by the tactical air force.

PEARL HARBOR, Nov.:27.(AP)'_
Lt. Col, Evans F. Carlson, marine hero of Nicaragua Makin, and Guadalcanal, explained in three words, "Determination, tenacity, courage,1 how a few battalions of leathernecks were able to.annihilate nearly 4,000 Japanese imperial marine's and capture Tarawa, main airbase in the Gilberts, in 76 hours.
"Those boys really did-.the job," Carlson, who as an observer landed Nov. 20 with the marines at Tarawa and; made daily trips through machine- gun and. mortar fire to report to the flagship;.
"Everyone , of those boys ,. was tenaciouis and determined," he asserted in an interview. .
"The Japs might ,have exterminated them with an organized connteroffensive the first night -but they couldn't have driven us off." Secretary of the Navy Knox said at Washington that American losses were heavy .but that the enemy's were much heavier..
                                                           One of.Toughest Ever/Fought
The chief difference in Wake, (a few hundred marines held out for 17 days against heavy Jap bombardment)
and. Tarawa was the determination',, tenacity and courage of the defenders,. It. was by far the toughest job I've 'ever seen. It was one of the toughest battles ever fought In-'.the marine corps (168-year) history."
