Germans Claim Drive Reaches Channel;
Foes Surrounded
BERLIN. May 21—(UP) — German military sources today claimed to have received word that an operation had been completed in northern France which, if verified, would mean the surrounding, according to their estimate, of more than 1,000,000 Allied troops—350.000 British, 350,000 French, and 300.000 Belgians now retreating from Belgium.
Although the guarded German claim did not say so, such an operation only could mean that German units had reached the English channel, possibly in the region of Abbeville south of Boulogne. Otherwise the Allied forces would not be surrounded and would have an open avenue of escape into France.
CHANNEL IS GOAL
The current main German drive in Prance appeared to be aimed at the French channel ports, for the double objective of cutting off British. French, and Belgian forces now retreating through Belgium before heavy German pressure and to gain the closest possible “jumping off place" for launching German troops on England.
From this salient aimed a* the channel, German forces yesterday stormed southward and took La on. raising the Nazi war flag over this city 75 miles northwest of Paris.
