ANTI-NAZI REVOLT

FIGHTING AMONG GERMANS LONDON, April 28

An effort to establish a new German Government under Walter Funk at Salzburg last Tuesday failed, reports an Associated' Press correspondent from the Swiss frontier. The situation at Salzburg is now chaotic, with heavy fighting going on between the Wehrmacht and the S.S.

Munich radio reported a revolt in Munich, and requested Allied planes to bomb Kesselririg's headquarters at Pullach, six miles south of the city. A radio station calling itself " the Bavarian Freedom Movement " proclaimed to French workers in Bavaria: "The hour of freedom has struck at last. Capitulation is imminent. Frenchmen, leave your work." Later the radio said the State Commissioner for Bavaria, Rittar yon Epp, aged 76, had decided to break off the fight, which had become senseless. He called for faith in the new leadership and said tho calamity which had befallen the German people should not be aggravated by fighting among the Germans.

The Gauleiter of Munich and Upper Bavaria, Giesler, broadcasting over the South German radio, declared that the revolt which a handful of traitors staged last night pn the Munich radio wave-length was finished, thanks to energetic action by the Wehrmacht.
