A badly beaten weaponless Brit' ish Army of 300,000 men were wedged into the narrow confine; of the beach at Dunkcrque by a hard-hitting Nazi army. Could they be rescued to fight a g a i n ' Yes, said Admiral Sir Bertram Home Ramsay, who has just been named to lead the Allied naval forcei under General Eisenhower. And save them he did, using a motley collection of boats ranging from small pleasure cruisers to destroyers, all operating under the very muzzles of Nazi guns. Now it is his job to get them back across the channel again, and retreat Is something the men won't think of. After 40'years as a sailor he has acquired t h a t squint that is typi cal of men who sail the deep waters. Taken from retirement in 1941. he helped plan the convoys for the African expedition.

Omar the Nazi-Breaker "Gets There';, "Monty" Wrecker of Nazi Reputations

When he graduated from West Point in 1915. the class historian noted that *'his most prominent characteristic is 'geUing- there'." And that seems to be Lieut. Gen. Omar N. Bradloy's forte in this war. On May 7, when he was still a major general, he spark-plugged the American, Second Corps into Bizcrte. Forty-eight hours later 25,000 Germans had enough nnd surrendered unconditionally. This marked the end of Nazi power In Tunisia. His brilliant campaigning now entitles him to wear the three stars of a lieutenant general and the command of a l l American ground forces when they m a k e their assault on Hitler's European wall. The tall and thin fighting general, horn in 1893, celebrates his birthday Feb. 12. Bridge, fishing, h u n t i n g , and golf are his typical American hobbies. If any man carries on his person a universally recognized personal trademark, It's Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, n e w l y - n a m e d commander of t h e British ground forces In the invasion of western Europe. Ordinarily a careless dresser, his Insignia bedecked Muck beret is the sign of a showmanand his men love him for it. During the early days of the war In Africa, when Field Marfilial Rommcl'fl panzer divisions were pushing back the British at \vill, "Monty" took over the helm. A methodical plan of counterattack was arranged first, hinging on massed batteries of cannon. When the Nazis recovered from their first shock.

But thn defenders were commanded by (he veteran English sen-hawks Sir Francis Drake, Sir John Hawkins, Sir Martin FrobLshor and Charles, Lord Howard. Sighting the invaders off Plymouth July 111, the British fleet joined battle. The engagement was fought in a rising gale which served to emphasize the skill of the, British sailors.

British Tried Norway Landing During 1940

Hv U n i t e d Press

As superbly-trained Allied Invasion troops .swarmed ashore today observers recalled ruefully the makeshift British forco which made abortive landings In Norway four springs ago. Outnumbered five to one, without artillery, mechanized equipment or adequate aerial support, the invading columns were hammered mercilessly wherever the German.'; willed. Answering Nazi-ridden Norway's cal! for help, the British landed on force at the little town of Namsos north of Trondheim and another at Andatancj; to the south. They hoped to pinch off the ancient port and use it, as a base for operations In central Norway. Simultaneously far to the north, another British unit went ashore at Narvik, the, arctic outlet for the Swedish Iron mines at Kiruna. But the action was doomed to b one-sided from the start.
