Military observers believed Hitler might be. forced to give up the direction of strategy on the eastern’ front. They said indi-
eral staff had ‘decided on a new defense line based on Riga, Kiev and Odessa. That line would be roughly 280 miles west of Kharkov. An Exchange Teleyraph dispatch from Zurich said Hitler was contemplating formation of a “defense council” which would involve many changes in the high The Evening Standard’s Bern 1 report said Hitler had called a conference of all army commanders for “critical consultations,” and added that the generals had agreed to take over direction of the ‘eastern front on condition that Hitler would assume responsibility for a general re- | aircraft carrier Bearn, now’ treat. - Hitler also would have to[tinique and soon to join agree to a drastic shortening of the lies, he said, and the
