A MERE FIGUREHEAD
HITLER'S REPORTED ROLE (Rec. 1.30 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 10. Herr Hitler, guarded by a military escort, is reported to be virtually a prisoner at Berchtesgaden, says the correspondent of the British United Press on the German frontier. _ The report appears as the latest variation of the story that Reichsmarshal Goering has now become the real leader of Germany and Hitler a mere figurehead. It was apparently to refute such reports that the German Labour leader, Herr von Sauckel, claimed in a speech in Paris that he has just returned from the Fuhrer’s headquarters and found Herr Hitler calm, serene, and full of complete conviction that Germany will win the war.
