tered the war. the German peo-
pie became convinced they could
not win" he said. "They are
tired and Disguised.
Y REVOLT UNLIKELY
"But there Is no possibility Of
a revolution because they are
watched constantly and there Is
no organized leadership In oppo-
sitiOn to Hitler. without leader
ship there can be no uprising"
Stadler said the interned news

cent more food than allowed the
German people. This consisted
mostly OF bread often too moldy

He lost 20 pounds while in that
country.
Fortunately. we succeeded In
getting q few cans OF peanut
