NAZI ARMY

MORE ABOUT REMOVAL OF GENERALS REVELATIONS BY SECRET RADIO. EXPOSURE OF CORRUPTION & IMMORALITY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK. July 22. General Rommel, commander of the Germans in North Africa, has been recalled to Germany to collaborate with General Liszt in the direction of the Russian campaign, according to private advices received in New York from Europe of a German army shake-up. The Chief of the General Staff. General von Keitel, and the Commander-in-Chief, General von Brauchitsch. have been relegated to-the background because of the poor progress in Russia. The “New York Times" recalls in this connection the broadcast from Moscow based on information from Berne that Field-Marshal Goering was in disgrace, and also that several generals were removed from their posts. It is now reported, the newspaper says, that a number of high officers have committed suicide. The secret German radio, “Hessender." to which millions of Germans listen and from which they learn the failings of the Nazi system. Is inflicting incalculable damage on the Nazi prestige. A London “Times” correspondent on the German frontier says that this radio repeats a five-minute message at intervals throughout the day on the 316 decimetres band, making the most revolting revelations of corruption, treachery, immorality, embezzlement inefficiency, profiteering, and food-, hoarding by prominent Nazis, whose names and addresses are given. Even the highest officials in the Nazi Party i have been incriminated.
