REVOLUTION IMPOSSIBLE
FLAGGING GERMAN MORALE NIPPED IN BUD WAVE OF EXECUTIONS (Rec. 1.0 p.m.) London, Jan. 7. Flagging morale in Germany is nipped in the bud by death sentences and it is impossible for any group to organise a revolution to overthrow the Nazis, says Christer Jaederlund, Berlin correspondent of the Stockholm newspaper “Tidningen.” He adds that a collapse on the German front could be precipitated by doubt whether to go on fighting, but doubters are being punished by death and a wave of executions in recent months has frightened the Germans and quieted defeatist talk. German people have been stripped of all possibilities of organising a-revolu-tion, says the correspondent. Opposition to the regime or criticism is crushed by the all-powerful Himmler organisation. The Germans would not hesitate to conduct wholesale massacres in order to wipe out revolt. German officials acknowledge that the Allied total air war is now* the biggest home front, as well as military, problem confronting them.
