are reported to have disagreed
with Hitler's strategy.
Also included in the Junta, it
was reported, are Gen. Franz
Halder, who like Won Book
wanted to withdraw the south
eastern German armies behind
the Don before it was too late
this Fall; Gen. Fritz Erich Won
Mannstein, Field Marshal Gen.
Karl Rudol Gerd Won Rundstedt
and Gen. Johannes Blaskowitz.
TWO FACTORS
Advices from usually reliable
quarters inside Germany and &C.
cupied countries, the informant
said, indicated that two prime
factors were behind the forma-
ton of the defeatist Junta- in
creasing dissatisfaction with Hit
ler's intuition as a guide to
strategy, and his steady Nazifi-
cation of the Army and High
Command.
Some members of the Junta
were said to be deliberately
provoking Hitler's ire so as to
be dismissed or relegated from
places of responsibility in order
to be able to blame him directly
for the disastrous last winter in
Russia"
They were said also TO hold
him responsible for the defeat
of Marshal Erwin Rommel in
Africa on the ground that it
might have been averted had
he followed different tactics in
southeastern Russia and taken
early steps to reinforce the
African forces with soldiers from
the Eastern front.
Hitler's speech of Nov. 8 in
dicating that he planned an even
more thoroughgoing Nazifica-
ton of the Army and further in
filtration of SIS men into the
armed forces was said to have
