NAZI METHODS

WAR OF MOVEMENT

ARTILLERY, MORTARS, PLANES Nazi tactics im France were related bj r a soldier of a famous Scottish regiment on lii« return fi'om Dunkirk. '■"This lias been a war of movement and there was no time to dig in," lie said. "You meet Jerry, and the first thing thrown at you is high explosive from artillery. That keeps you pretty close to the ground Then they have been opening up on us with four-inch trench mortar's—scores of them. These mortars are very efficient, "On top of this comes an attack by low-flying planes. The combination of these three means that the Germans can bring their infantry up to within twenty-five yards or so of the British lines. Time after time this is Avhafc has happened. When the barrage ended Ave looked up, and there they were —scores and scores of Germans armed with tommy guns and rifles. Time and time again we threw them back, and time and time again Ave had to retreat in face of their overwhelming numbers. "Often they were ten to one. We retreated steadily and in orderly fashion the whole' time, and we exacted an enormous toll of the enemy But their superiority of equipment Avas such that it AA'as merely a question off hanging on as long as we could and then getting back as slowly as aa t c could and still holding them up. Man to man,, nobody in the British Army has the slightest fear of any German.** GOING BALD? Use Birmese Herbal Hair Root Tonic. Helps groAV neAV hair in 30 days. Banishes dandruff in 3 days.
