NAZI FEARS
DEEPENED AS THE WAR PROCEEDS. “The German armies are made of stern stuff. They suffered far greater losses in the last war and recovered from them,” said Captain Margesson, Secretary for War, in a speech at Newcastle-on-Tyne. “But it is a fact that this Russian adventure has bred a spirit of misgiving, not merely among the German soldiers, but—and this is far more important—in the German people. That spirit is deepenI ed by the hostility of the occupied territories. It spreads to the U-boat crews, whose heavy losses have deepened it, and it is to be remarked in the internment and prisoners’ camps in this country. We know that the truculence of German prisoners here has given way to a very chastened attitude.”
