A CHRISTMAS CARD
(N.Z.E.F. Official News Service) Cairo, Feb. 4. “Season’s greetings from the Krem--1 n, from Adolf Hitler” is the ingenuous title to a neatly printed card, advance copies of which have recently found their way to various members of the Middle East Force. Above, on a background of blue, is an etching of the Kremlin, which no doubt the German Fuhrer had every hope and intention of occupying for his Christmas headquarters. The Russians, of course, 1 bought otherwise, and now Hitler finds himself making frantic and repeated changes—this time westward —in his plans for his personal location. More fitting was the alteration which which one soldier made to the wording 'in the card, which he lias made to read ‘Greetings from Berehtesgaden,” although there is n i doubt of the type of greetings one would expect broadcast from there.
