The bottom map is not accurate if the info above is correct.

“FRANCE: Free French forces capture Mulhouse.”

Mulhouse is spelled Mulhasen on the bottom map and the French are there.

NYTs headlines says the French have crossed the Rhine which would put them past Mulhouse/Mulhasen. To bad the germans can’t get their info correct so that we would have good map data to work with.

I bet Monty is not happy that the French beat him past the Rhine.

I’m thinking it will be a awhile before the French have a real bridgehead across the Rhine. If I remember from my reading correctly, when the Americans started crossing the Rhine for real, the French had to commandeer a few rowboats to get some men east of the river quick so that they wouldn’t lose prestige. They were real big on trying to rebuild their prestige.
