KEPT DOWN BY FEAR
GERMAN REFRACTORY SPIRIT Recd. 6 p.m. London, Jan. 7. Flagging 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, Berlin correspondent of the Stockholm Tidningens. He adds that collapse on the German front could be precipitated by doubt whether to go on fighting, but that doubters are being punished In death, and the wave of executions in recent months has frightened the Germans and quieted defeatist talk. The people have been stripped of all the possibilities of organising revolution. Opposition to the Nazi regime is crushed by the all-powerful Himmler organisation, which would not hesitate tn conduct wholesale massacres in order to wipe out revolt. German officials acknowledge that Allied total air war is now the biggest problem on the home front, as well as the biggest military problem confronting them.
