WITH THE 1ST CANADIAN ARMY LN GERMANY, Feb. 32 _. (OP Cable) — A silence, new and strange. fell over the Canadian sector of the 1st Canadian Army front today as Moyland, two miles northwest of Calcar, fell unoppos- ed and the Germans withdrew to the outer defences of shambled Calcar.

But the Germans, disclosed to have elements of 10 divisions fac- ing the 1st Canadian Army, seem- ed intent on holding the line from Calcar to Uedem, five miles due south. Indicative of this ls tile fact that the enemy has its Elite Panzer Lehr Division facing the Canadians.

This rising ground commands the country to the north and la the eastern German front between the Maas and the Ruhr. The slt- uation resembled somewhat Nor- mandy's Caen hinge where Cana- dian and British troops broke through last summer while Am- erican troops swept into Brittany and cut east across France. The Canadians anticipate further stiff fighting here, although enemy strength naturally is not as great as in Normandy.
