GERMAN UNREST REPORTED

ALLEGED RESISTANCE TO WAR SABOTAGE IN AIRCRAFT FACTORY

“ HITLER IN INTOLERABLY

TIGHT CORNER ”

(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIOK—COPTB7GHT.) (Received September. 27, 10 p.m.) V LONDON, September 27. The diplomatic correspondent of the “Dally Telegraph” says Herr Hitler must have been aware, before his speech, of the growing internal resistance against war.

Reports reached London yesterday of serious explosions In various armament factories. One big chemical works in Saxony was reported to have been seriously damaged. A strong military force rushed up, and several workmen were arrested.

Similar incidents are reported in Upper Austria.

Army units in Bavaria demonstrated against war. It is also stated that there was similar trouble with the armed forces in Styria and near Vienna.

Serious sabotage occurred at the B.M.W. motor works, engaged in aeroplane engine production, the workers declaring: “We want peace and decent wages—not war.” The tone of Herr Hitler’s speech has fully confirmed British Ministerial impressions regarding the Fuhrer’s frame of mind, namely, desperation and fanatical exultation. A clue to the future may be found in the threat to liberate the Sudetens on October 1. Britain is unable to detect a reassuring note, in spite of the efforts of German official circles to explain that the speech should be regarded as conciliatory. It is felt in London that Herr Hitler’s speech characterised him as a man who has got in an intolerably tight corner and is unable to see his way out.
