GLOOMY GOEBBELS
Germany Standing Alone
LONDON, Jan. 25. Goebbels, in one of the gloomiest articles he has ever written in “Das Reich,” to-night first discussed the question, “What happens if we are unable to halt the Russians.” Extracts from the article broadcast from Berlin radio stated: “The German people are to-day abandoned by everyone on the Continent. Now they battle alone. Developments in the East have taken a dramatic turn. The Russians have appeared on the scene with masses of men and material that baffle the imagination. They are testimony to the determination and readiness for sacrifice with which Moscow pursues its aims. “The raging torrent in the East will be broken even though our enemies in the West are tying our hands just when we are trying to build a dam to save not only us but also civilisation. We are subjected to a tremendous test, but we are certain we can stand it—because we must.”
