WASHINGTON, Feb. 6. CUP)-
Qualified military observers said
Tuesday the German army within
a few days may make what could
prove its last desperate throw of the
dice in the east, a counterattack
designed to cut off the nose of the
Russian advance east of Berlin.
The outcome may determine
whether victory in Europe will come
this winter or must wait the end of
the spring thaws.
The first objective of the expected
Nazi counteroffensive, according to
experts here, would be to force the
Russians back to a line stretching
from Breslau on the south through
Poznan to Schneidenmuhl in the
north, on the old Polish border. For
Imperial Valley press., 1945-02-06

the Germans, a greater cegree of
success might enable them to link
forces with the trapped garrison in
East Prussia.
There is little doubt here but
that such an attack will come. If
it does not, it will serve as the
frankest revelation yet of Ger
many's lack of resources and as
testimony that the cause of Hitler's
Germany is all but lost.
The steady movement of German
troops eastward from the western
front, and the bitter resistance at
Breslau, Poznan. and Schneider
muhl, serve as evidence to support
the theory that there will be coun-
terblow. The German garrison sur
rounded at Poznan is reported about
$4,000.

Hitler May Make Lost Try
TO Stuve off Russians

1t is now all too clear to the Ger-
mans that i. they mercy try to-
stand defensively on the Oder, with-
out taking the initiative, they will
have to absorb one heavy Russian
blow after another on highly vul1
nerable front with the constant
danger of a Russian break-through.
But should the Germans assume
the initiative, they might hope To
impose a delay on the Russians COM
parable to that inflicted on the
Anglo American Allies. with the
Ardennes offensive. Such a delay
might compel the Russians to wait
until after the spring thaWs to
mount the next great offensive. In
this case it might prove to be the
western Allies who administer the
knockout punch. X
