In his message to the German army on Dec. 21 ivhen he said he had “followed his intui- tion" and assumed command from the deposed Field Marshal Gen.

Since then, Ger- man communiques have spoken al- most exclusively of "defensiye” war- fare.) Speaking today at the Zeughaus -the old German arsenal used as a military museum_and all of fame——the Nazi commander in chief cried:- "Only today do we realize the full extent of the preparation of our enemies.

Diversion of his U-boats from the open Atlantic to harry coastal shipping in American and Latin American waters was itself a confession of their inability to cut allied llft!‘ lines. The indicated concentration oi heavy Nazi surface war-craft in Nonwcgian waters further demonstrates that failure. The Mlly known element o! the Nazi surface fleet powerful enough to cope with Anglo-American yiaval forces disposed to safeguard es. sential traffic to Britain and Russia is the battleship Von Tii-pitz.
