Goering explained that while the Germans had been lulled by early

the last 15 years the most tremen ~ fous armed might ever built.”
Some of the blame, Goering said ‘could be placed on the Russian winthat the weather was not as severe in ‘Russia this year as it was last

again and again here in the Ruhr without reciprocating?” Remember that we have a tremendous battlefield in the North and the South.” Low Tide for Reich
German fortunes in the war seemed to have reached low tide as Goering spoke. On the Russian battle front the Red army was advancing agdinst three key German defense positions —Kursk, Kharkov and Rostov. West of Voronezh, the Russia noon communique reported, 12,000 axis troops were killed and 25,000 captured. Seven axis divisions were routed. The R. A. F. delivered another smashing attack : at the German submarine base of Lorient in France. x
munique reported that units of the British eighth army had crossed from Tripolitania into Tunisia. That meant that the eighth army and the allied forces in Tunisia' now were only about 150 miles apart and the Afrika Korps was trapped be tween them. . ’ Aviods Peace Eeelers
Bearing out the German insistence that Hitler would not make today the occasion for peace feelers, Goering said peace with Russia without victory was impossible—because Germany could deal only with “gentlemen—nnt with bolsheviks.” He did not say it could not deal with its other enemies, Great Britain and the United States.
Goering called on every German
look to Adolf Hitler—“the Godsent”—and to obey Hitler's orders to the last extremity. He said Hitler alone could organize the fight and lead, it, that Hitler alone was fit to make decisions.
' Warning to Neutrals
He explained tremendous Russian = | victories by painting Russia as a power which, unlike Nazi Germany, forced its people to give all. Germans, he said, would do the same voluntarily—for Hitleg Goering said Germany stood alone _|to save ‘the world from Bolshevism. S|He warned Sweden, Switzerland and other neutrals—and, implicitly, ‘the allies, that Russia was a menace tc the world. Goering explained Hitler's deliberate sacrifice of 220,000 men of the German sixth army at Stalin-
there to permit the German line -|to be “reorganized,” that they had died for the world as well as for Germany—and that other Germans must follow their example. He said, as Hitler had done so often after the resurrection of successively “destroyed” Russian armies, that this would be the last hard winter, that Russia had thrown in
