HUNS FEEL "PAIN" Bitter Experience Of Reverse ' Suffered In Russia Rec. 1.30 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 5. "The bitter experience of Stalingrad weighs heavily on our souls," said General Dietmar, the army spokesman, in a broadcast on the Berlin radio. "We are for the first time experiencing the entire tragedy of a ■ reverse, and for the first time the entire German Army has ceased to ' exist. What we used to inflict on others has happened to us. We.have been encircled and attacked from all directions, compressed into a narrow space and split up into pockets. We feel it like a sharp, physical pain. "The last days have made Germans fully aware of what the struggle means. We must form a new estimate of our enemy. Perhaps we judged him too much by Western standards and have not realised how sudden can be the transition from disorderly flight to a furious counter-attack."
