With the Fifth
Army At
Cassino, March
20.—
German troops
raised the white flag over Continental Hotel which they had turned into one of
their chief centres of resistance in Cassino but they still
clung
desperately to the south west corner of the town today and to important hill
No. 165 above.
Not only were they fighting for every inch but they appeared to have
ample reserves to reinforce and steady their precarious position through
well covered drains and tunnels in hills behind the town.
New Zealand tanks were doing well
however in their effort against well entrenched Germans in the old Coliseum and
the amphitheatre and the ducal palace which
straddle highway No. 6 as it
winds south from Cassino around Abbey Hill, toward Rome.

LONDON, March 20---
Tonight ends
another twenty four hours of triumphant victories for the Armies of the Soviet
Union. Before their onslaught towns have fallen west of the Dniester, in the middle
Bug, and deep into ore-war Poland.
Yesterday the town of Mogilev Podolski
on the middle Dniester fell to the Second Ukrainian Army after several hours of
fierce ' fighting.
Mogilev Podolsfci is an important
railway junction with lines running west
to Cernauti, southwest to Odessa
and the great Baltic port of Golatz. The
Germans counter attacked fiercely in an "effort -to --save-; the-town
across the Dniester-the Russians today deepened their bridgehead across the
river and continued to make advances today.
