Berlin)

Berlin)
On the fateful dawn of Sept.
/, 1899. Berlin became for the
second time in Is years, the con-
troll center of a mighty German
war machine, determined to con-
quer the world.
On that date, Nazi legions,
schooled to the finest military
degree, and led by powerful
planes, crashed into Poland
without warning.
The invasion of Poland mark
ed the beginning of the greatest
armored forces and hordes OF
war in history, in which mil
lions were killed and damage
ran into astronomical figures.
BUILDINGS DESTROYED
But, today, proud Berlin
lies virtually PROSTATE, its great
buildings shattered and-its
streets a mass of rubble from AL
lied saturation bombing, as AL
lied troops enter the city.
Following the fall of Warsaw
on Sept. 81, 1889, the Germans
shifted their weight to the west,
but for long winter months there
was no action. The interlude
was dubbed a "phoney war"
The "phoney war" turned out
to be the lull before the storm
and it gave the Germans time to
put the finishire touches on
their master plan for quick vic
tory.
In rapid succession, German
armies overran Denmark and
Norway and easily drove into
the sea British forces which
gained a small beachhead on the
Norwegian coast.
HOLLAND, BELGIUM NEXT
r On the morning of May 10,
.l04O, motorized German spear
! heads struck into Holland and
Belgium. The Netherlands arm
les capitulated after four days
and in less than a month the
Naunted French Maginot line
had been thanked in one OF the
swiftest maneuvers in military
history, trapping Allied forces to
the north.
/! The stage was set for one OF
the epics Of the Wharf.-The evacu-
alton Of Dunkirk. Across the
ChanrCl came a stream of YES
bels of every description. For
four days and four nights the
motley fleet, under continuous
rain Of bombs, removed troops
from the beaches. When the or
deal was ended some $4,000
British and French troops had
been taken to England safely.
y At this point, the Germans
committed their first major
blunder. The time was ripe for
Invasion of the British Isles. The
British braced for the assault.
But it never came. Instead, the
Germans turned south upon
France. On June IA, the Nazis
rolled into Paris, four days after
Italy entered the war, and on
June %, France fell.
The first great defeat for
Adolf Hitler came in the Battle
of Britain" during the summer
and autumn Of 1910. Thousands
of tons Of German bombs fell
upon the British Isles, but val
ient Raj pilots, flying day and
might, took such a toll OF Ger
man aircraft that the attacks fin

probably his biggest, mistake.
The German High Command
figured Soviet resistance could
be crushed in four months, and
for time this looked probable.
BY mid-November, the Nazis
had reached within so miles of
Moscow, but they were TO get no
farther.
In late June. 1912, Hitler
launched his legions on VEN
ture which resulted in the great
turning point of the war-the
Battle of Stalingrad. Here. one
of the greatest battles in history
was fought, and after almost six
months of terrific fighting ii was
the Germans who gave ground.
Meanwhile. the United States
had entered the war, late in
l94l, and had begun sending to
England and Russia an unccas-
ing stream of supplies and
planes. The Allies began to
strike back.
TIDE TURNS AT Ell ALAMEIN
In Egypt, in the summer of
1912, the British were forced
back to Ell Alamein, name fix
ed in history with Gettysburg
and Waterloo. But in October,
1912, the British attacked and
started a series of victories
which eliminated in the capture
of ffuifi is and ZiZerte six months
later. u. S. troops had landed
in West Africa and, with the
British, crushed the famed AT

Italy. Practically every city in
Germany was subjected to sus-
tanned and devastating bombing,
and Berlin, in particular, was hit
often and savagely by day and
by night.
But June 6, 1914, was the day
that the whole world had been
awaiting for two years-the in
vasion of western Europe. On
that date, thousands of Allied
troops, supported by the greatest
aerial armadaS ever in the air
at one time, stormed the beaches
of France.
At first stiff fighting was en-
countered, but the Allies broke
out of Normandy swept across
France, recaptured Paris, and
drove through Belgium. By fall,
the Battle of France was won
and our armies were on the edge
of Germany proper. a
GERMAN ATTACK HALTED
The Germans still had fight
and a counteroffensive was
launched into Belgium late in
December. The attack finally
was halted and the Allies meth
odically began to shatter toe
strong defenses of the Siegfried
line.
With the war rapidly ap-
preaching a climax as the new
year opened, the Russians, in
late January, 1945, launched
their "win the war" offensive.
Soviet armies smashed German
resistance on every front and

BALKANS COME FIRST

ed. UNRRA experts poised in
Cairo will first move into the
Balkans as fast as boat and truck
will take them, spokesman say.
Some 200 UNRRA workers are
in London awaiting assignment,
800 at Cairo and $50 still in
training in Washington.
The military already has sig
nified that il needs UNRRA i'm
mediately in the Balkans. AS for
western Europe, UNRRA expects
an early call to collaborate with
the army in handling an esti-
mated 20,000,000 displaced per-
sons whom the Nazis have
shanghaied for slave labor In
Poland UNRRA says it will 60 in
as soon as and if the authority
in charge asks them.
Spokesman repeatedly en-
phasize that UNRRA is only an
international relief auxiliary,
that it comes in only when
asked. The military can ask
UNRRA to help during the So
called military period-the first
months of liberation. Then the
army will say to the civilian
governments before moving out:
The relief job is yours if
you want help, call on UNRRA. I"
UNRRA's plan of operation
varies widely for different parts
of Europe-from administrative
duties having to do with the
international aspects of dis
placed persons and health in
France, which can buy, grow and
distribute its own supplies; to
actually feeding, clothing and
healing the multitudes in Greece
and Yugoslavia.
UNRRA under present plans
does not expect to operate in
enemy homelands.
In its international coordinat-
ing capacity, UNRRA already is
filling the following functions:
I. Stating to allocating agen-
cies what each country will need
as its fair share of supplies -
on the basis of UNRRA recon-
mendations the combined boards
now are allocating world food
supplies for the poSt-military pc
riod.
2. Assembling health special
lists to establish, revive and CO.
ordinate all health agencies to
prevent epidemics and handle
health problems. Here again
countries differ widely-France
has so many doctors that she has
loaned several to UNRRA in
Cairo, but Greece has none.
3. Assembling experts for reg
istering, housing and transport
ing lin an orderly manner" the
displaced persons, whose first
desire is to get home.
