GERMAN REACTION
DEFIANT ATTITUDE (10 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 7. The German home radio bulletins were dominated by the news of the Teheran conference, although almost invariably the bulletins started with military news items. The Berlin Radio complained that the Teheran bulletin was even less communicative than that after the Moscow conference. “It nearly looks as if the Allies were afraid of forgetting their plans for the annihilation of Germany' so they repeated them all over again,” added the announcer. “We are left cold by the re-hash of old threats.”
The Oslo Radio quotes a Berlin report that an Allied High Command is being established after the Teheran talks, with Marshal Voroshilov holding a very high rank. “As a result of the Teheran conference strong pressure is likely to be exercised in the next few days on the small nations,’’ added the announcer. Three major decisions were taken at the Teheran conference, according to reports received in Madrid from Berlin, says the British United Press correspondent. They were, first, a formal ultimatum to Germany to capitulate; secondly, an Allied offensive almost immediately in the Balkans; thirdly, an invasion of western Europe in 1944 when the weather improves.
