This is the opinion of the German Army as a whole, of neutral observers in Germany and of influential sections of the Nazi Party. Hitler is therefore making frantic efforts to have an army so big as to be invincible in the spring fighting.

These six million will be added to the German army by the time the spring offensive starts.” WIPED OUT i NAZI INFANTRY DIVISION AT STARAYA RUSSA. (Received This Day, 11.40 a.m.) LONDON, March 24.
