menf. reports from the war thea.
tiers have indicated that the Red
armies have been careful in their
treatment OF the people as German
territory has been occupied. or
course. few will be naive enough
10 think that either the Russians
or the western Allies are going to
hang daisy-chains hout the necks
81 the Germans and dance around
the May pole with them However.
The general German public appears
10 be faring better than all right.
As this column explained last
week. there are several reasons
why Hitler has been holding the
Russian front in much greater
strength than that in the west.
For one thing. he has created so
much fear OF the Russians in the
public mind that big break
through along the eastern front
might cause a collapse Of morale
In tho Reich
Then there is another point which
George AieXandroff makes lie says
The Nszis are barring their western
front 10 the Soviet's Allies and con.
ceutratng forces on the eastern
front as a gigantic political trick
designed 10 create dissension
