Unrest Of German Porty and MiIitoy Leaders
Opens New Avenue for Psychological Worfore

Psychological Wurfore
stan always has had merely an
advisory capacity although in
reality this advice often has been
decidve.
But Gen. Jodl has no respon-
sibility for the execution Of the
war plan. That depends upon .
third general stan-the general
STAN Of the army.
And who Is now In charge Of
this general staff is . complete
secret. It was Field Marshal Won
Brauchitsch. But he Is out. It
has been assumed that Gen.
Halder has the position. But 1t
now seems that he has been out
for weeks.
And for a German war to be
waged under anonymous leader
ship is truly something remark
able in German history.
sectsr Leaders Unknewn.
And who is in charge Of the
three sectors Of the Russian
front?
In the northern sector, before
Leningrad, the leader was Gen.
Field Marshal wilhelm Ritter
Won Leeb, considered by tnter-s
national military experts to have
been the mastermind OF German
j military science. a man COM
parable to the elder Won Moltke,
or Won Schlieffen. But Won Leeb
is out.
In the central sector, before
; Moscow, it was until last De-
cember Field Marshal Won Book,
also a general of immense dis
tinction and intellect. He was
transferred to the southern Sec
tor-from which he has since
been removed-and his successor
is unknown.
In the southern sector the
commander in chief was first
Won Rundstedt, then Won Book,
and Is now-unknown.
There are speculations about
the successorship. Before Len
ingrad it may be Won Kuechler,
before Moscow Won Kluge and in
the south Hoth. All three are
mediocrities.
A roster of those who have
disappeared in this war, by resig-
nation or dismissal, reads like q
Who's Who OF German military
science. It includes Blaskowitz,
conqueror Of Warsaw. He pro-
tested against the mistreatment
OF the Polish population and was
removed. Also Won Witzleben
Che may have a small command
In the Balkans) and Guderian
Zone of the great tacticians of
the war and tank expert.
The Russian war and the man.
ner in which it was waged went
against all the principles laid
down in the German war college
for 20 years. Opposition to the
Austrian and Czechoslovak pro-
gram which was bound In their
minds to precipitate an Eastern
and Russian war lay behind the
early dismissal of Beck and Won
Fritsch. The war Hitler is fight
ing in Russia was the one warned
against, as an axiom, by the late
Gen. Won Seeckt, the builder of
the modern German Army. And
the outcome of the Russian war
to date is the one foreseen by
the leading military scientists Of
Germany.
There Is, therefore, trouble in
Germany and we should be con-
centrating on it every moment
and in every speech, fighting our
enemies with deeds and words,
playing upon their difficulties
instead Of carrying on a political
campaign against our Allies.
