The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-09-01
By THOMAS M. JOHNSON NEA Military Writer

A reversal unsurpassed in world history--a reversal, indeed, of world destiny-Hnake this an anniversary of tremendous significance. On Sep- tember l, 1889, with Hitler's invasion of Poland, began series of victories SO devastating that dictatorship threatened to engulf the world. To- day the threat is dissipated and the Great Dictator is being revealed as the Great Blunderer.
 For surely as dawn succeeds dark ness, Hitler has lost his war through the very intuition" that he boasted would win 1t. His boast seemed ominously prophetic during the suc- cession of military miracles that be- gan with Poland's three weeks de- bacle and engulfed Norway, France and the Lowlands, Greece, Yugo- slavia-and almost Russia.
 But on Russia's vast, dim marches, not only did the tide turn but the most. lifted. At Stalingrad the Reichswehr's fame floundered on the rock of defeat. And why? Be- cause 1t had been jammed into a strategic whirlpool by its heln nan, the eX-corporal whose "in E;ion" overruled the worlds best general staff.
 MISJUDGED ALLIES
 After-war revelations may change details, but the broad lines of the portrait of Hitler that now emerge are of a superfciallyl clever man who has missed great opportunities through misjudging all his greatest enemies: Britain, Russia and the United States.
 He did not deduce from the Polish drive that began four years ago, and from his intelligence reports, that France would fall relatively easily. Britain, by position and stubborn ness, would be the most dangerous enemy of all. Her total defeat was essential to his total victory, but he neither prepared for 1t by planning an invasion, nor did he improvise one.
 After Dunkerque, England had neither organized ground forces nor equipment adequate to oppose him. There was the RAF, but the Luft- waffe had proven its mastery in aid- ing ground troops. Yet Hitler, finch ing from the risks of invasion, di-

Toxic Radio Warns
i. ). Plans Moral
Attack on Mainland
Alaska to Be Bose
Of Assault, Army
Spokesman Says

BY the Associated Press.
The Toxic radio broadcast a warn
ing to the japanese people today by
a high imperial headquarters off,
cial that the United States is plan
ming "a mortal attack upon the
mainland of Japan" and that it
would come from the north.
Col. Nakao Yahagi, chief of the
japanese army press section, de-
clared in a speech recorded by the
FEC that Alaska was to be "the
headquarters for attacks against
Japan"
He cited the almost daily bomb
ing" of japanese forces in the Aleu-
tians by United States planes, the
building of 1T new airfields" in
China and preparations for direct
telephone connections between
Alaska and China.
He described the air field con-
struction and telephone work AS at
tempted reinforcement of airplanes
to the continent from Alaska"
According to the recently an
nounced Roosevelt message" Col.
Yahagi warned, America is prepar-
ing to make the year 1943 a year OF
final battles of the decisive war"
This spokesman. the FEC report
ed, pointed out the United States
was Stressing rapid construction of
unsuitable aircraft carriers-that is
land bases"
He declared, according to the
Toxic broadcast, that the Allies now
have 300 planes in China.
Col. Yahagi also foresaw the pos
sibil!ty that Midway Island also
might be used as base for an aerial
assault on TOXIC. the broa dcast said
He continued: 1T appears they (Al-
lies) are going to make Dutch Har-
Dor and Hawaii into strongholds and
move forward with unity of the re-
spective forces"
He closed with the final declara- =
ton that "a halfway measure of
arbitration cannot even sbe imag
ined."

! Corpl. Hartman, in the plummet-
ing tail section, "blacked OUT from
blows under his left eye and on his
head, did not regain consciousness
until he was only 1000 feet from the
sea. Slipping quickly into his para
chute harness. he succeeded in div
ing from the derelict tail.
His parachute opened. and he
struck the water only $50 yards from
the shore of Choiseul, AS he swan
ashore he saw that he was the only
survivor from the Fortress. Two
natives approached him.
"Mellican fiyer?" one of them
asked.
Yeah, what are you?" Corpl.
Hartman said he asked.
Come" said the native
Corpl. Hartman's chest had been
injured when his chute opened, but
he managed to walk to the native
village. There the natives made
much over him and insisted on feed
ing him.
They brought me a platter of
meat" Corpl Hartman said, but
was a little dubious and asked them
what 1t was"
Him good, you eat" one of the
hosts replied Him flying fox"
When the corporal still hung back,
the chief took him over to the bot
tom Of a tree and showed him
flying fox" intact, though dead
It was a huge bat of the variety
found in the South Seas. Corpl.
Hartman feasted, but passed up the
bat meat.
The natives insisted that he stay
with them and sleep in the same bed
with the chief until his wound
healed.
Late in December, standing on the
coastline, Corpl. Hartman saw a
Flying Fortress soar overhead. That
night the natives told him that
ZeroS had shot the bomber down
into the water and then had ma
chine gunned the survivors until all
were dead.
Next day the diary of the American
pilot washed ashore. Corpl. Hart
man found it was that of his former
commander.
Corpl. Hartman remained on the
island while the rains poured, living
with the natives. Once large cen
tipede stung him and made him very
i'll for several days. Then one day
the natives came running in high
excitement to tell him they had
rescued a Japanese pilot who had
been forced down near the island
Corpl. Hartman found the enemy
flyer asleep in native hut and took
him prisoner. Outside, though, the
japanese made a break for the
bushes and Corpl. Hartman shot him
to death The natives cremated him
where he fell
On January "a Corpl. Hartman
finally left Choiseul in a native
canoe manned by 81 warriors. They
were seven days at sea before they
reached Santa Isabel Island in the
Solomons. From there Corpl.
Hartman caught a motor launch to
Tulagi and thence made his way by
launch to Guadalcanal.
The first man he sighted when he
stalked into air force headquarters
was friend, Corpl. Louis Kaminsky
Of Detroit.
Boy" said Corpl Hartman, IT
thought you were dead. I must have
dreamed it on that island"
Boy Corpl. Kaminsky rejoined,
we knew you were dead"
