Will Military Clique Get Control in Germany?
Received Thursday, 8.30 p.m. NEW YORK, May 10. ■ very grave concern is felt by senior intelligence officers at General Eisenhower’s Headquarters over the manner in which the German High Command has survived the Wehrmacht’s defeat, retaining the Germain people’s admiration and respect and attaining the position as the only stable element in an otherwise disorganised nation, says the correspondent of the New York Times in Paris.
The onus of defeat rests on Hitler and the Nazi Party as far as the average German is concerned and the military priesthood is credited with fighting a brilliant patriotic war that was lost only because of the Nazi Party’s inter ietence.
Admiral Doenitz and the generals seized power from Himmler by a coup d’etat. In uniform or out they remain the strongest group in Germany.
