GUERRILLA ORGANISATION

REPORTED PLAN BY NAZIS New York, Sept. 29. “Mr Churchill’s suggestion that the war might end by a unilateral Allied declaration instead of a formal armistice is regarded as highly significant, although his own l'ecollection of the Boer War must indicate that the British public is unlikely to agree to outlawing patriots, even Nazis, who maintain guerrilla resistance,” says the “New York Times” London correspondent. "Mr Churchill’s remark is believed to have been based on reports from many sources that Hitler and his geneials have devised a two fold plan for continuing resistance after the main German army is overwhelmed. Firstly, a withdrawal of some troops to the Bavai ian and Austrian hills to continue fighting; and secondly the establishment of a skeleton underground Naai organisation throughout Germany. “Mr Chyrchill implied that once the Reich was effectively occupied the Allied declaration would be the signal for the start of other plc.ns such as the transfer of forces to the Pacific, the reconstruction, of Europe, and partial demobilisation of the British ground forces.
