turno River, the Germans’ strategic first lin^|r defense on
the road to Rome, it was announced today, and captured the
towns of Aversa and Maddaloni north of Naples.
One unit crossed the Volturno,
which runs 30 miles above Naples,
at an unspecified point. The river,
flowing Into the coastal plain on
the west side of Italy, had been
expected to be the scene of a de-
laying action by the Nazis
Fifth Army units rolling through
the coastal plain of Naples occupied
all the territory up to Uigo Di
Patria » marshy lake 10 mile# north
of Cape Mteeno, and about eight
miles from the mouth of the
Volturno.
Thte advance swept up the towns
of Pozzuolo, Queliano. VUlarecca,
Anxano. and Marano, and straight-
ened the Allied line to run almost
due west from Aversa to the coast
