War Situation Last Night

Hitler's l.0.U. to his war-weary people for the capture of Stalin-

grad still ls unpaid. The interest rate it bears in Axis blood is beyond

imation; beyond any conceivable strictly military strategic value at- taching to possession of the ruined industrial metropolis-except one.

The prestige and morale value of Stalingrad to Nazis and Russians alike are plain to sec. Should it hold against all odds, Russian llo e, courage and detennination must eoer to new heights and Hitler rest e at home and abroad drop to a new low. Whether in excuse for t e ter- rible biood-letiln he has decreed to accomplish its capture or because Stalingrad even n utter ruins is es vital strategically to his war design in Russia as he said‘, the Nazi warlord spent much time in his Berlin broadcast ’ ,‘ " 1 its importance.

He soornfully waved aside the notion that he ordered the conquest of Stalingrad because it bore the s bclic name of his great eastern rival, the man of steel in the Krem in. Only military reasoning, no; mg. ierian dranratics, had dictated the costly siege, he contended.

lie clearly made Stalingrad the military key to the horn-of-plenty he pictured opened by his Russian conquests not. only for Germans and their Axis mates; but for soon-to-be-Hiiierized Europe.
