Thinking Germans foresaw the

mans they can expect the worst
and that the day is not far off.
Those who have Travelled in Ger
many in the past three weeks have
noted a deep feeling Of defeatism
coupled with fear. The penalty for
spreading defeatisrn is death. So

sentences in day-long, continuous
chains. An average of IS persons
have been shot weekly in one small
town outside Berlin; 60 have been
shot weekly in another. The total

Taking advantage of German pre-

Threatened with enlightenment,
the Germans hastily evacuated his

quickly and hurled fresh troops into
the struggle, which threatens to roll
them back to the Pc River, their
last good natural defense line in

The door to the Pc is open and
