A man from the Air Ministry told me that the Luftwaffe has had the breathing spell for which it had long hoped. Preparing for the invasion, our air forces were forced to concentrate on tactical targets, destroying supply lines, etc. Therefore, our planes could not con- tinue the destruction of the Luft- waffle.
 REBUILD ULTIMATE
 This source says it would be silly not to admit the Germans used 1943 and 1944 admirably to rebuild the LuftWaffe anc: re-arrange their en- tire production. They have learned from us to improvise." Many pro- duction centerS went underground. Most production was dispersed throughout Germany and divided in to small shops. It has become 1n- creasingly difficult for the Allies to bomb efficiently to bottleneck Ger man production. Constant intelli- gence from inside Germany is need ed.
 The same source stresses also that the Luftwaffe, by and large, did an excellent job of defending Germany against raids. This is par ticularly astonishing since, when the raids began, the Germans were completely inexperienced in defen- sive warfare. Frontline dispatches also say that Nazi leadership has made progressively more intelligent use of the LuftWaffe.
 One source at the Scientific Ad- visory Committee believes that the von Ruddstedt offensive was made possible through superior reconnais- sance by new jet planes traveling at a speed or 600 miles an hour. There is no doubt that, on the other side, the offensive begged down because of lack of air power, as General Ar mold pointed out. The same lack of air power, Of course, rendered im- possible German interference with our invasion.
 But the Germans constantly are building and therefore the defi- ciency in numbers is no longer what it used to be. While the Germans

less sub-leaders being purged. Many explanations are possible. The obvious one is to give Ger man people proof that the Luft- waffle was stabbed in the back by saboteurs but that it is funda- mentally unbeatable. This would reduce the trial to a propaganda maneuver. l believe that is what the enemy wants us to think. I believe, however, that the trial must be considered smoke screen for future developments. MUST TRAIN CREWS
 According to my sources, the problem of crews for the new jet planes looms large. Their increas- ed speed needs specially trained pilots and German losses of the new aircraft are caused by insuf- ficiently trained pilots unaccus- toned to terrific speeds.
 The Air Ministry thinks that If the Germans had two more years they might rebuild complete jet plane Luftwaffe, but fortunately they will not have the time. New ertheless, we must reckon on meeting entire jet squadrons ir the spring.
 The same source says that 10 years hence jet planes will fly higher and faster and iet-propelled bomberS which cannot be seen and heard and which may fly to Amer ica and back, will not be an impos- Sibility,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-02-20

I received the firss inkling of the possibility of Luftwaffe come back from a study of German news papers. Even before the von Rund- stedt offensive began, items con- corning the Luftwaffe were featured constantly in Nazi newspapers. While most of the So-called Luft- waffle victories were simply lies, the fact remains that German coordi- mated propaganda would hardly play up the Nazi ar forces if there were to be no future show.
 Experts here, as well as mem berS of the Scientific Advisory Committee to the Government, ad- init that the jet plane has changed the very fundamentals of flying. Lord BrabaZon, pioneer and Brit iSh ex-Min1ster of Aircraft Produc- tion, says, We do not know whether we are going to pull or push the air. plane in the future, or whether we will fly tail first, or be all wing or all fuselage." New types of jet planes are now being built by the Ger mans. Countless reports from the front mention the appearance of jet planes.
 OUTRAGE OUR PLANES
 Allied air experts quite readily admit that the new German planes are faster than ours. We may soon know the answer, and may have our own jet planes in the air But, more important that evaluation and crit icism of past performance is the fact that that the Germans con- tinue to have new ideas and to build new planes in large masses. There fore, wholesale bombing is believed likely here.
 All of which proves that we were utterly wrong In believing the Luft- waffle finished. Or, perhaps it is more precise to state that LuftWaffe leaders have been able to rebuild after being knocked out. We know today that the original LuftWaffe never was constructed for long, draWn-out war. Therefore supply and repair problems were badly ne- glected That is the reason why the LuftWaffe, after the Battle of Eng land, played secondary role.

never again will be able to build enough planes to match our num- bers, they may soon have sufficient planes to create new threat. This, in my opinion, is well-known to British intelligence and that is the reason why the Allies staked every thing to clear the Channel Coast from the Germans speedily. My source at the Air Ministry says that if the Channel coast had remained in German hands, this winter might have seen repetition and worsen- ing of the London blitZ.
