Nazi Drive Caught Allies Off Balance Army Intelligence Is Held To Blame 'Editor's note; The German offensive has changed the strategic picture on th*, western front and threatens to prolong the war. What li*w behind the Germans’ Initial su<<esg? James Mi-Gllncy. Vnited Press war correspondent at supreme Allied headquarters, attempts to answer this and other pertinent questions in the following dispatch t By JAMES McGLINCY Paris. Dec. 22.—(VP) Military ’ observers believed today that the German offensive in Belgium and Luxembourg caught the Allies off balance to u greater extent than any development since the tide of war turned at Stalingrad two years ago. It would be difficult and possibly | und*sirable to delineate th* Allies'! failure at the present stag*, of th*- ] offensive, but the progress of th*Germane makes it obvious that they scored un outstanding surprise The finger of blame seems to point at Allied military Intelligence, which critics already were saying terribly underestimated the strength of the enemy's mobile reserves. Intelligence would appear to have neglected completely or was ignorant nf an enemy concent ration of no less than 15 divisions in the Eifel mountains east of Belgium and Luxembourg. Similarly, either air reconnaissance over the Eifel mountains was neglected or Its reports disregarded by the Allied high command out of belief that a German attack iu its present strength was ImpoMible. observers theorised. The only alternative explanation for the thinness with which the 6bmile line between Monschau and , Echteinach was held would appear to be that the high command, even though aware of the concentration.. underestimated German audacity' in attacking depite commitments' laewhere along the front The Initial success of the offensive was all the more surprising in the light of th*' forces with which Marshal Karl Von Rundstedt had to work

The German army marching through Belgium and Uixembourg today is no longer that which reach-1 »d the English <h;innel over the same route In five days in 1940. This is an army or armies of Panzers without enough fuel. The enemy for< are under order to capture and use all American vehicles, guns, ammunition und fu*-l possible to counterbalance their lack of equipment. The hundreds of thousands of crack young Infantrymen who rode across France and Belgium in 194't have been replaced latgeiy by lesstrained and older tnemle-ra of the [ Volks grenadier, or jieople's army.
