LUDENOORFF’S VIEWS
DISASTER ASCRIBED TO TANKS
(Rec. May 26, 9.30 a.m.) NbW YORK, May 15,
The New York Post’s Berlin correspondent interviewed Ludendorff, who said that it was due to the 'tanks that the Allies won the war. He. would not concede that the entry of the United States made the slightest difference to the outcome. Germany would iiave won but for the revolution. Ludendoift added that Germany should have built more tanks, but the industries were not equal to the tremendous demands for war materials. U-boat warfare was necessary and brought England to the verge of economic collapse. U-hoata did not bring the United States into the war. The United States ..would have entered in any circumstances. “I am willing to testify before the tribunal to enquire into the responsibility for the war that the purpose was to vindicate the Fatherland.”
