SCORN IN SWEDEN
HITLER’S “IRON ARMY” SIX MONTHS OF WAR STILL ON THE FRONTIER SOVIET DAYLIGHT GHOST Tel, Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. March 28, 9 a.m.) STOCKHOLM, March 27. The Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter in a remarkably outspoken article, scorns the German army. “Herr Hitler has often described his army as the best in the world in every respect in contrast with the Kaiser’s badly-led and badly-equipped armies, but five weeks after the outbreak of . war in 1914 the ‘raggletagglc’ Germans stood at the gates of Paris, while Herr Hitler’s ‘iron army' in six months of war is still standing at the frontier bombarding the enemy with peace appeals,” states the article. “No trace is seen of the RussoGerman measures with which Hen Hitler threatened the Allies last October. As a military threat to the Western Powers, the Soviet is something like a ghost in daylight—not very terrifying. “Even the German submarines left enemy shipping alone for a whole week and sunk eight neutrals instead.”
