Confusion After Attack on Hitler Weakens Nazi ’

By HELEN KIRKPATRICK Times Foreign Correspondent ‘PARIS, Sept. 4 (CDN).—The attempted ‘assassination of Adolf Hitler on July 20 disorganized the German armed forces and greatly facilitated the capture of Paris, according’ to reliable reports available; here. On the evening of that day when Col. Count Kraus Schenk von Stauf1fenberg tried to kill der fuehrer at Berchtesgaden, word came through to wehrmacht headquarters in Paris, from Stauffenberg’s associa‘es in Berlin, t the attempt had been successful and that the German army was about to seize power from the Nazis, Apparently—and this angle is hearsay — Stauffenberg himself thought he had succeeded for he, or one of his men, telephoned to secret. headquarters that all had gone according to plan,

“Wehrmacht ‘Attacks S. S. In Paris the wehrmacht received the news late at night and immediately attacked the local headquarters of the 8. S., located at 5 Avenue Foch. There was ‘consider-

wehrmacht put the S. S. under arrest. “When, the next morning, it was established that the attempt on Hitler had failed, the 8. 8. in turn arrested the German. officers who had assaulted them. Some were said to have been taken to Ger1y. Others were shot on the spot and- their bodies were believed to be among those found Wednesday night at the target grounds of Issy-Moulineaux. According to senior officers of the FP, F. IL (French forces of the interior), whose intelligence service here was particularly good, this battle between the wehrmacht and ‘the 8 8 stirred general commotion within the army. This confusion and uncertainty was so pro= found that the German armed forces had not fully recovered before the American armies reached the outskirts of the French capital.
