SOMEWHERE ON THE GERMAN FROM
TIER, by Mail.-Contrary to the general belief that
dssdent Frenchmen are responsible virtually all the
of German officers in occupied
France have been carried out by special depart
ment of the German Gestapo, this correspondent is
able to reveal today.
This information from highly reliable
former Gestapo worker who disclosed that this murderous
of the Naz secret police operates directly under Adolf
Hitler himself and Independently of Gesapo Chief Heinrich
Himmler
The campaign is characteristic of Nazi methods. BY
ordering his Gestapo henchmen to dispose of German
officers Hitler achieves the following:
1-Cleanses the officer cadres Of the Wehrmacht Of
1 officers who seek to oppose Nazism.
C-Cams the lives Of from 50 to 100 French hostages
& for each officer shot.
C-keeps France in state of ferment, enabling him to
- bring constant pressure on Chief of State Petan.

Ocean.
"In such an event Japan
must eventually fall.
ION the other hand, the
defeat OF Japan would re-
lease at once sufficient Allied
sea, air, and land forces ia
concentrate on the right fianl,
and force Hitler to surrender
or be crushed.
But to decide which is our
No. | enemy-Germany or
Japan-is not pertinent AT
this time i'm determining
which TO knock out first.
THE question is mu C h
more fundamental and much
more primary than that
which may be reached as a
result of an academic debate
on the pros and cons Of who
is war enemy No. |.
Considering the military
factor, the question is simply
which is the more dangerous
to the Allied front AT THE
PRESENT TIME.

INVESTIGATIONS HALTED

II is true that in many instances
the French police are called in &c
cooperate in running down the
killers. But whenever the trail
grows too warm. the hunt is
abandoned This was true in the
Nantes affair. when investigation
was halted after a week.
Hitlers private Gestapo was
described as the most mysterious
of all Nazi agencies. 1t is an in
ternational body, with French,
Germ n, Italian and Serbian
branches.
Over and above the advantage
of having an easy means of dis
posing of German officers whose
loyalty 10 the SwaStlka is Ques-
toned. the Gestapos murder
bureau provides an excellent man
ner of eliminating dangerous
Frenchmen.
1t is necessary only to arrest
them as hostages for the shooting

once more confronted with the
unfortunate and adamant unwlll-
ingneSS' of his people 10 collabo-

Actually. cording 10 the
GeStapo informant, Hitler himself
is not interested in Franco Ger
man collaboration. He really is

ton. He permits II as a temporary
but his deepest inner
most instinct demands the ami
of France AS a spiritual

The loss of one undeSired Ger

exchange for the arrest or eXecu-
ton of 100 hated French intel
lectual or political leaders.

SABOTAGE ONLY

The political murders in France
have continued for more than
eight months on a mass produC-

according TO reliable neutral au-
thoritieS. that the French people
themselves could carry them out
in the face of repeated pleas by
Petain and i'm the knowledge that
for every shot fired 100 French
men may face an execution squad.
