TERROR & DEATH
CHECK TO FAILING MORALE IN GERMANY PEOPLE GIVEN MO CHANCE TO REVOLT. INTIMIDATED BY WAVE OF EXECUTIONS. (By Telegraph—(Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) LONDON, January 7. The flagging of 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, the Stockholm “Tidningen’s” Berlin correspondent. He adds that a collapse on the German front could be precipitated by doubt whether to go on lighting, but doubters are being punished by death, and the wave of executions in recent months has frightened Germans and quieted defeatist talk. The German people have been stripped of all possibilities of organising a revolution in opposition to the regime, and criticism is crushed by the all-power-ful Himmler organisation. The Germans would not hesitate to conduct a wholesale massacre in order to wipe out revolt. German officials acknowledge that the Allied total air war is now the biggest home front, as well as the military problem confronting them.
