Mysterious Broadcast

BTDCKHOLM. Oct. ll - (AP) ——A nlystcrous German broadcast on all unusual wavelength tonight urged the people of the Reich and thlgGermsn Army to revolt against .er.

The newspaper Dagens Nyheter. which monitored the broadcast said the speaker culled himself CoL-Gen. Ludwig Voll Beck and ridiculed Nazi reports that he had commit- ted suicide after the abortive a.- tempt on Hitler's life July 20, The broadcast, in German, was first heard on 282 meters at 6 p. tn and was repeated two hours later with an admonition to list- eners to keep tuned to the station in the future.

"When I give the signal you must take every Nazi n prisoner and as- sume operations of all railways, ra- dios nncl newspapers,” the spea- ker said. "I order you to organize into fighting groups and equip yourselves with weapons immedia- tely. Prl-pnre to take over the S S arsenals."

The speech appeared to be dir- ected principally to officers of the Wehrmacht, including "my comrades on the general staff who will recognize my voice."

Aliied success in driving Nazi forces from the south bank of thc Mass in Holland achieved two goals.

Early use of the Antwerp communications hub was brought within sight to bolster an expected renewal of the drive against Germany: Siegfried Line anchorage on the Lower Rhine.

And it freed the whole length of the Fiushinp“ ijmegen- Arnhem hard surfaced highway except its extreme western end on Walchern island. Elimination of that lest obstacle to full Allied use of the road is in progress. With final clearance of Walcheren, first movement of priority traffic for Field Marshal Montgomery's troops should be possible even before Antwerp can be put into commission as the main Allied left flank supply base.

It. seems unquestionable that seizure of that road to supplement the anticipated of Sebelds Estuary approaches to Antwerp and its extensive and undamaged dock facilities for seagning craft fig- ured importantly in Allied plans. The considerable port of Flushing on the south shore of Wilcheren Island at the mouth of the West Schelde Estuary offers good Weather protection for shipping, obviating delay while the Estuary itself la cleared of silt or enemy-placed oh- structions.

Allied spokesmen have made no secret of the fact that it was the supply lag that gave the foe a chance to man his Siegfried Line defenses after the retreat from France. That handicap has been virtually re- moved now. Little Allied delay in moving in hcuvy force to crack or turn the north cnd of the Siegfried front is to he anticipated.

There will still be some weeks of relatively good weather in the Netherlands battle theatre. Allied commanders can be expected to make the most of it now that they have gained elbow room south of the Marts and freedom from danger of an enemy flanking attack.

On Field Marshal Montgomery's right the United States 1st Army

has virtually been marking time: since the capture of Aachen to await‘, completion of the British-Canadian operation south of the Maas. Itsi
