“ Of Hitler's Fall From Power
By HUBERT UXKULL United Press Staff Correspondent STOCKHOLM, Dec. 18. — The Free Germar press bureau claimed today that.the first authentic report of the “Hitler crisis” which forced the fuehrer, from military leadership -had been obtained. The indiscreet talk of his for mer adjutant. 8. A. Chief. Group Leader Fritz Brueckner, wHo drank toosmuch at a Berlin dinner. party, was credited with the revelation, The report said Heinrich Himmler, minister of interior and gestapo chief, Propaganda Minister Dr. Josef Gobbels and Field Marshal Gen. Karl von Rundstedt had forced Hitler to abdicate as supreme war lord. ” ” o THE REPORT claimed the abdication dated back to the end of August or the beginning of Septembér. Then the Battle of France obviously had been: lost. Allied armies were threatening Germany. Brueckner’'s account of what happened, acocrding to Free German press, follows: pd Himmler, Goebbels and Von Runstedt drove to Hitler's Ober-

FOR AN HOUR Hitler refuse to see his “visitors” but finally gaye in, The conference was held in a large reception hall, Von Rundstedt spoke first. He explained that the war could be continued only if Hitler desisted from interfering in military matters. « When Hitler flared up in anger and thfeatened to hang him; Himmler intervened and said: “With all respect for the fuehrer, the continuation of the” war is the most important of ‘all considerations and the 8, 8. fully supports the military leaders’ demands.” . ) a ® oa HITLER then-turned to Goebbels and said contemptuously: “And you?” Goebbels declared that “neither the armed forces, nor the 8. 8, nor the party” were wavering in their love, reverence and loyalty for the fuehrer. Nothing should be changed outwardly, he promised. He said Hitler should continue to represerft the reich but that “waving aside expert and well-fodnded advice of the generals must cease once and for all,” . ~ [I J T CONFERENCE lasted six hours. =~ It “Was interrupted frequently by Hitler's angry shieks and crying and hysterical fits, accompanied by carpet chewing.

prompted Von Rundstedt later to remark: “Rather 10 carpets than one more defeat.” Hitler's physician was called twice to give him calming inJections. The fuehrer expressed concern that his withdrawal from military affairs would weaken the people's morale, } s x =
BUT GOEBBELS assured him he would be kept before the people receiving foreign diplomats— and above all—tackling the huge problem of post-war reconstruction in Germany. Only about two dozen persons reportedly were informed of the changes.

D. N. B. Claims Successes D. N. B. sald the “northern part of Luxembourg already has been crossed on a wide front.” - A United Press dispatch from the
posed said German pressure was strong along most of a 50-mile front. The Americans were resisting fiercely. They had succeeded in keeping a hold on German territory {around Monschau, where the heaviest weight of the Nazi offensive appeared to have been concentrated. “At other points the Americans continued ‘to resist in some areas within the general German ad|vance,” the dispatch said. The state{ment was not clarified, but appeared {to suggest that some 1st army units were fighting behind the advanced positions of the Nazis, A headquarters” t®mmunique said the German onslaught was mounting in weight and fury. Nazis Hurl in Reserves The Nazi high command hurled into battle crack infantry and armored reserves that apparently had been drawn from the Wehrmacht's carefully hoarded strategic reserve, The communique reported one German spearhead had plunged into Belgium near Honsfled, 2% miles inside the frontier and about 20 miles ‘south of Monschau. A second crossed into Luxembourg some 32 miles farther south below the border town of Vianden A third was inside Luxembourg
south-southeast of Vianden. Unconfirmed reports said the counter-offensive was spreading north to the U. 8. 9th army front ron the edge of the Cologne plain. The American 3d and 7th armies [to the south, meanwhile, continued | their grinding advance into the | Siegfried line fortifications guarding the Saar valley -and the Rhine Palatinate, . Front dispatches reported both armies making steady progress against increasingly heavy opposition. Their wedges in the West Wall

French Shoved Back At the southern end of the allied line, units of the French 1st army gave ground under a blistering Nazi counter-attack. The thrust apparently was. a diversionary effort co-ordinated with the big push on the 1st army front. Other units at the northern flank of Lt. Gen. Courtney ‘H. Hodges 1st army line closed in steadily on the Roer river line and the fortress town of Duren, The Germans were reported putting up a stubborn but losing stand for their few remaining positions on the west bank of the Roer,
