sss RUSSIA TRAINS GERMAN ARMY

From, saSofficiaa sources" in Washington
sscosnes the information that: tfe Russians
r. have trained an army Of more than lOO,-
200 Germans which now waits in Russia
! for a turn of fortune that will permit it
q to march back into the German Father
land. 1879 .s
The army, according to- reports, is
headed by Field Marshal General Fred
erich Won Paulus, who surrendered at
- = Z sSfalingrad, and: subsequently called on
-Germans to overthrow the Hitler regime.
The German force, it is said, is equipped
with small arms only, but receives artil-
-ylery training. The larger weapons how
ever, are kept by Soviet officials when
not in actual use The men, unlike the
: g other German prisoners of war in Russian
4 u hands, do not work at forced labor but
N n are maintained as soldiers.
American officials do not believe that
rScSs, the Germans would march into their Faith
e-r erland to fight other Germans but they
80. do not dismiss the possibility that this
Russian-traned force could make trouble
for the United States or Great Britain in
sssathe event of a crisis with the Soviet Union.
consequently, the existence of such a
$500 force, whose effectiveness could be in
.-L creased quickly by possession of full ar
ss-@ ray of weapons, must be considered as a
factor in the European situation when the
= .. German treaty is concluded.
- -. Assuming that the report is correct
~ and that Russian-trained German army
is in existence, it is easy to foresee that,
when the armies of occupation leave Ger
many, this Communist controled force
could proceed into Germany and
take over control of the entire country.
No doubt, the army from Russia would
march into Germany as an army of liberia
E * ton, but the net result would be the prac-
Il teal capture of Germany by the Soviet

prevent shoaling in the Inland
