NEW YORK. Jan. ‘f-(AH-Gen. Henri Honors Giraud disclosed to.- clay that the Germans-from wnom he escaped-regarded hisn as "enemy Nu. 1' and had shot one oi nls young relatives in rrance because a uernlan flon-conlnlis- stoned officer had been attacked in a theatre, the lJakar radio said in a broadcast heard here by CBS.

The broadcast also reported that the French High Commissioner in North Africa had said he was cer- tain that “Germany is defeated” but tilat the fight "will be hard, very hard."

The Ger- man army today very strong and Germanys internal structure undoubtedly much stronger than in 191B. Let us not fancy that we will march into Paris tomor- row."

Giraud also was quoted as say- ing that he knew the fate of pris- oners and of hostages.

"One of my young relatives was arrested one day for not having painted his bicycle lamp in blue. A few days later he was shot as a Communist because a German non-com had been attacked in a theatre. I could cite many
