GREAT DISASTER LOOMS
DWARFING NAPOLEON'S DEBACLE
GERMAN GENERAL'S DECLARATION
(Rec. 10.40 a.m.) LONDON. Oct. 25. " Germany will receive her death blow in Russia during the coming winter," said General von Seidlitz, vice-chairman of the Union of German Prisoners, speaking over the Moscow radio. The union was formed among German prisoners of war in Russia. General von Seidlitz, who was second in command to Field-Marshal von Paulus at Stalingrad, said: " If the German front collapses it will dwarf the debacle of Napoleon's army, and will become the greatest military disaster in world history. To every German conscious of his responsibility,, and especially to every military leader and every German officer, there can be only one course to be taken—away with Hitler."
