Nazis Claim Hitler,
Gudarian In Berlin

attempt on the Flehrer's life last
July 20.
A renowned tank expert, he won
his greatest fame on the Russian
front. He broke through the Rus
sian line at Gomel early In the
war, but later was defeated by
Marshal Ivan 8. Konev on the APP
proaches to Moscow.
Despite the Nazi assertions, Al
lied sources were not at all certain
that Hitler had decided to make
his last stand in Berlin.
The Raj hoped Hitler and his
cohorts were at Berchtesgaden
when British Lancasters dropped
their six-ton explosive calling
cards yesterday.
An obscure Belgrade radio report
said Goering, Goebbels and Costa
DO Chief Heinrich Himmler had
attempted to enter Switzerland,
but were refused.
Swiss authorities denied knowl-
edge of the Belgrade report. Re-
liable sources In Switzerland said
none Of the trio ever had asked
permission to enter that country.

BY ROBERT DOWsON

London, April 26 - (U.PO - Nazi
sources said today that Adolf Hitler
and Colonel General Heinz Oud,-
erian chief Of staff Of the German
army, personally were directing the
defense Of Berlin from an under
ground hideout inside the encircled
capital.
The German-controlled Scandin-
avian telegraph bureau said Guder-
ian was organizing the death stand
under Hitler's personal supervision
1t attributed its information to
to German papers In Norway.
Though the German radio for
several days has been reporting Hit
Ter in Berlin, the STB dispatch was
the first to say that Guderian also
had remained In the capital and
with the Fuehrer was facing almost
certain death or capture at the
hands Of the Red Army.
Hitler daily receives commanders
Of the various Berlin front sectors
In his underground bunker. STB
said. He listens to reports, gives or
ders and decorates those distin-
gushing themselves" 1t added.
Another report said that Hitler's
underground quarters were beneath
the high command building on
Bendlerstrasse, which already was
under Soviet artillery fire.
The Stockholm Newspaper It'd
ningen said Hitler, Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels and
Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering all
were in Berlin as late as yesterday,
preparing for a stand to the end
In their underground citadel with
several thousand elite soldiers.
The North German radio trump
eted:
I'm Berlin, the destiny of the
peoples of Europe Is at stake. In
Berlin, this war will be decided.
For this reason, the Fuehrer Is In
Berlin"
Guderian, who STB said was aid
ing Hitler in his defense strategy,
was named chief Of staff of the
German army after the abortive

Col. Raynar E. johnson, Column

The dump was hidden in a dense
pine forest near Grafenwoehr, and
CORY said there were signs that the
