Nazis Shift Arms Workers
For Next Phase OF War

ton of certain kinds of unspecified

ler's october 3 speech, are being put
to work in other branches of war
industry ito prepare for the next
phase of the war" the Frankfurter
Zeitung explains.
No workers or production facili-
ties are to be allowed to remain idle.
and new forces are constantly being
modified to produce arms because
Germany must win the armament
race, the paper said.
In his speech, Hitler said Germany
had unlimited amounts Of munitions
piled up at her disposal and Il can
now stop further production because
know that there no longer is any
enemy which we could not over
power with the amount of munitions
on hand"
The Frankfurter Zeitung said
although German armament pro-
duction is decreased in one definite
branch it will accordingly be
stepped up with the utmost speed in
other fields.
Germany does not underestimate
its enemy. 1t recognizes the pro-
duction powers Of England and
America and knows both countries
are feverishly working to overtake
the German armament advantage
despite their slowness noticeable at
first. Germany will also win this
race"
