Other reasons advanced for Ser

SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE, June
26.-Reports reaching here from an
unusually well-informed diploma tic
source disclose that Hitlers 1912
plan has been extended and con-
siderably altered following Field
Marshal Erwin Rommels rapid ad
vance in Egypt.
The original Nazi plan combined
a "pincher" offensive against the
Caucasus with a drive toward the
Iraq oil wells. 1t was abandoned
after Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's
bold stroke against Kharkov, but has
now been revived. According to this
source, Marshal RommelS surprise
advance came in the midst of a dis
cuSsion between Hitler and his gen.
erals concerning future military op-
erationS.
1t seems that Hitler insisted Mos
COW should be the first objective,
with the purpose of diSorganizing
the Russian railway network and
lowering Russian morale, while the
Wehrmacht generals maintained
that Germany was in far greater
need of oil and gasoline than of
Russia's capital. Apparently the
generals opinion prevailed. The
Nazis now admit, according to this
diplomatic source, that Marshal
Timoshenko's Kharkov offensive has
completely disorgani5ed the Wehr-
macht's original plan.
Kharkov Action Only a Screen.
German preparations on the
kharkov front we're only a screen
while the real offensive was to be
launched $50 miles to the southeast

kos fierce attack necessitated a
general shifting of German forces

Marshal Rommel's attack. on the
other hand, was unconnected with
the German plans on the Caucasus
and its strategic value in a pincer
movement only became APPARENT
after his success. Marshal ROM
mel's intention, it seems. merely was
to obtain a good starting point for
further attack next winter with
Tobruk being the extreme limit of
Axis ambitions this summer.
The original German plan was
altered only after 1t Gen. Neil NJ.

there are strong indications that
Portugal and Northern Spain also

Madrid last night, presumably took
with him in his baggage strong Axis
assurances of help in case of an
