HITLER PLEDGES
FANATICAL FIGHT
Nazi Chief Declares Ger.
many Will Battle To
The End

LONDON, Nov. g. R Adolf
Hitler vowed today the Nazis
would fight fanatically to the end,
and, admitting some persons in
Germany wanted an Allied vic
tory, warned he would resort to
mass executions to prevent home
front collapse.
Flanked by Nazi party bigwigs
in a Munich beer cellar, Hitler, in
belligerent, somewhat boastful
speech broadcast by the Berlin ra-
do and recorded by the Associated
Press, demanded loyalty above all.
He aimed sharp threats in many
directions, but marked the sharp
est toward his own home front.
II know that l demand the ap-
parent impossible from the battle
'front.' he asserted, ''but this al
most impossible must force de-
cision in our favor"
In the speech, which took just
short of an hour to broadcast and
marked the annivers t. IF II g
abortive beer hall putsch of 1923,
the Nazi dictator apparently took
stab at whipping up new national
courage, when he der co:
Everything is possible, but that
T should lose my nerve is impos-
sible.'
The Berlin radio said Hitler was
between Reichsmarshal Hermann
Goering and Gesapo Chief Helm
rich Himm1er as he spoke, and
described the scene as one resem-
bling the old time National So
cialist party rallies, complete with
flags and martial music.
Hitler challenged the Allies to
open a second 'front.' in Europe.
and declared that eff they try it
will be seen whether the reserves
we have been keeping in many
fields are sign of weakness or
prudence"
The Nazi chief acknowledged re-
verses in Russia and, referring to
Allied bombings of Germany, said
The sufferings of the German peo-
pie through this bombing are enor-
NOUS
He reiterated, however, that
however long this war lasts, we
shall never capitulate. We shall
not give in at the 18th hour. We
shall 60 on fighting past IL
o'clock"
''I can support and lead the Ger
man people," he said. IT can say
that whatever may happen at the
end, victory is certain.
IF Germany breaks under the
strain, I would not be sorry for it.
1t would not deserve any better
fate. But this will never happen.

The obvious minimum objective
at which Red leadership is aiming
in this blow is to squeeze all Nazi
forces south of the Pinsk marshes
to the Black sea out of Russia and
into wavering Rumania, cut off
from all direct commune atoms
with Germany via Poland. The
maximum goal is destruction of at
least third and possibly virtually
a half of the German army in Rus

Moscow is taking no chances.

ents Podolsk rail lateral which has
swept beyond Fastov junction in
its first lunge, second Red
column is pushing northwest up
the Kiev-Korosten line.
Its obvious objective is the south

its main mission is to throw Nazi
forces north of the dangerous Fast

counter attack against the upper
flank of that fast-moving south
