FAITH IN VICTORY

DECLARED BY HITLER HOLD-UP AT STALINGRAD ADMITTED. EXPECTATION OF HARD WINTER. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) MUNICH, November 8. Again declaring his faith in German victory, Hitler, in a speech at Munich, said that the fight whereby the Nazis reached power in 1933 had produced the only power capable of winning the present war. He was speaking on the anniversary of his abortive 1923 putsch. “We are fighting far from home in order to keep the war from the people’s home and spare the home country the sufferings it would otherwise undergo,” he said. No people had won more successes than the Germans. It had required immense faith to overcome the “bad crisis in Norway,” Hitler said. “The enemy abroad is still the same, from the Freemason and semi-Jew Roosevelt downward to the Jewish Marxists of Soviet Russia,” he declared. “ . . . We had no sooner eliminated the conspiracy between the Jews and the capitalists internally than the outer world embarked on a policy of encirclement. This was done once' before ,and the Kaiser was too weak to cope with it. He capitulated. Now they find in me an opponent who does not know the word capitulate. “The strongpoints at Stalingrad which are still unconquered are not worth a second Verdun. We have) gained the essentials and stopped the Volga traffic.” Referring to North Africa, Hitler said: “We have no need to waste words about Roosevelt’s North African attack. We will prepare all our counter-blows thoroughly. Germany, wherever the front may be, will always hit back and ( go over to the attack. “You may have full confidence in the German leadership of the German army. I am confident in the German home front behind me—and the man at your head is not a man to go abroad like the Kaiser if things go wrong. He has always known nothing but fighting. Our preparations for the winter are different from last winter. Let it be the hardest ever, we shall be ready for it.”
