The battle entered the third day, and the British and American Allies had penetrated 12 kilometers into the German Army's defenses, artillery now directly capable of bombarding target areas.
Freeman was only 20 kilometers away from Saarbrücken, and at this rate of advancement, they could capture this industrial stronghold of Germany in two more days.
By then, the entire Hindenburg Line would be severely weakened due to a lack of ammunition and losing this transportation hub.
This greatly boosted the morale of the British and American forces.
Haig published an interview-style article in the "Vipps Times," using intense and passionate language:
"To all warriors fighting on the front lines, whether British Army or US Army, I am proud of you."
"You have proven with lives and blood that the Germans' Hindenburg Line can be breached."
"Brave men are not intimidated by its apparent might; only those fame-seeking cowards are the ones who harbor self-doubt and spread talks of defeat."
