MANY-FRONT WAR
Germans Warned Of Very Heavy Battles Ahead (Received June 21, 8 p.m.) LONDON, June 20. The German High Command radio spokesman, Dietmar, speaking on the forthcoming third anniversary of Hitler s attack on Russia, said: “When we first crossed the Soviet front on that fateful Jun* 22 three years ago, the German troops bore high hopes of smashing the Russian colossus with the shining German sword. We had hoped to lay this terrible ghost once and for all. In these three years of fluctuating fighting, we have touched both the peaks of achievement and tie lowest depths. “Ever since last summer we have been weighed down under the growing threat of war on many fronts, compelling us to go strictly on the defensive. We have not been able to prevent the Russians reaching east Europe. We still have to face very heavy battles, and that probably very soon. We await the future with calm confidence in the knowledge of our renewed strength.”
