A New burr-ass of rumors and speculation as to the scope of the inter- nal crisis in Germany that brought Hitler close to death at German hands swept Europe after Nazi disclosure of the attack, but it lackekl substance by which to measure its full Significance.

Eastwal-d in Poland. there was further evidence of Nazi confusion under over expanding Russian attack.

That sltuatlo . now highlighted by the attempt on I-Iltlerfis Iile, may help explain the staggering spccd of the Russian advance.
