WAITING FOR THE INVADER

GERMAN-GONTROLUED RADIO COMMENT ELABMATE PREPARATIONS (R*c. 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 10: In an invasion warning the Paris radio said France cannot survive a war from outside and a civil war within. "With the massing of the British and American invasion forces across the Channel we have the certainty that Franco will soon be drawn once more into the fiery cauldron. We are about to witness tremendous military operations, compared with which the" war of 1940 will be dwarfed into insignificance. Our towns and villages will be razed to the ground and our roads and railways will bo hotly contested. We must in addition reckon with De Gaullist shock troops, who will begin operations as soon as 'the invasion gives them the signal. That is why the most drastic measures must be taken to eradicate the terrorist movement. British and American invasion forces are assembling on the Kent and Cornwall coasts for decisive battles in this war, but German U-boats are on . the alert in the Channel ready to pounce on the invasion fleet. General Eisenhower is putting the final touches to a gigantic plan that will in the near future bring into action the German troops along the whole of Europe's coastline waiting for the zero hour. They are manning every rock and position, every hill, and every hidden bay along the edge of the fortress of Europe. Tanks, artillery, flame throwers, and machine gun* are waiting on the beaches to repel the invader.
