(Correspondence of the Associated I'imm)?The question I have been asked most frequently since returning from four trips to the xouo of operations In the west Is: "How do you explain Germany's ' military success?" Though all of these trips were undertaken since the start of the great offensive Muy 10,/invariably I must point tf^that I aui no military expert. My Views simply are those of an observing layman. Yet it seems to me certain facts are obvious to anyoue who like myself, could move freely among the troops go to the very front lines, see what the retreating armies left behind an<| how they left it, and talk to prisoners of war. In a nutshell, it can be stated that perhaps no nation ever was prepared more completely, more scientifically and with greater attention to detail than wus Germany. Strategy also played a leading role. Beyond that Germany hud the dreaded stukas (dive-bombers;, weapons for which the Allied powers apparently had no match. It also seems German shells and bombs were filled with explosives more effeotlve than anything the world has seen. I shall try to develop more concretely various ideas gathered during my visits to the front. Take, for instance, Germany's system of communications. Various officers agreed In telling me that, during the gigantic tanks fights, every Nazi tank was connected with the surrounding ones and with the airforce above by wireless. This meant that the Btukas' descent to the scene of a tank battle could be limed lu such a way that the bombs fell at the critical moment and onto the Allied tank most dangerous to tho German force. During artillery duels, such as that which preceded the fall of Dunkerque, I noticed German scouttng planes directed the Nazi artillery fire by wireless. The French, on the other hand, seemed content to fire antiaircraft guns at the German planes. Again in observing an encounter on June 2 I noticed German* planes directing the German artillery while, on the opposing side, no planes were visible in the air. Communications also were maintained between the stukas and the lightning-like "blue devils", Infantry ou motorcycles which emitted a special smoke making them practically invisible. And I understand, though I did not happen to see it my self, that even the infantry on foot had soldiers with earphones and radio equipment communicating as they march ed along. The German army stressed not only technical Communications, but attached equal Importance on connections with the rear. One of the strongest impressions I took with me from each trip was the smooth functioning of the reinforcement system. Bach unit's route of marcli and distance to be covered was stated precisely. On many occasions soldiers told me they had not slept for several days. "We know that if we don't arrive at such-and-such a place, our comrades will be left In the lurch while i those following us will have their plans upset," they said. "So there's oniy one thing to do?get where Vve have been ordered to go." A-mong the more important organizations ensuring the safe movement of reserves were the so-called "O. T." men?batallions of road and bridgebuilding experts who, in peace times work under Inspector General Fritz Todt on Hitler's automobile superhighways. Whenever we followed the advanc tntr army, 'we were sure to find "**0: T." men ahead of us?repairing bridges, filling up holes on airfields, clearing roads of obstacles. Bqually ever-present were German ambulances, ready to take care of the wounded Immediately. Another or ganlzation much in evidence was the Nazi welfare league, with soup kitchens, huge stacks of bread and other edibles for civilian populations. An impressive thing to mo was noi only the fact that the general staff, Russell Hurls Team To Lead League Softball fans who gathered at the 14iureas street pastiiue pasture Wednesday evening wttiipgH^d IP Ins ball game In which a rsjuvinu!?d Hayues team spanked kn ambitious Hermitage group by u 0 to 2 count with latnky Charlie McCusktll stealing swat honors and Deck Kuaaell hurling six hit ball. The fans got a big kick out of seeing the former Sinclair# star back in harness. Although it was the first game of the year for the speed cop. Russell went thru the soveu rounds in fine style. The Mill lads staged an opening inning scoring hurst that netted them two runs, both resulting from errors. After that Itussell gave up but four blows in only one inning were two of them buno]^|4f&, Hollts LyTtcn started for the Hermitage but was succeeded by' Pete Caulder in the sixth. The Hayues team scored three runs lu the fourth after posting one lu Qio second, They added a fifth in the sixth. Tonight the Kendalls and Hermitage Mill teams meet at 0:15 o'clock. Next week the Hayues team battles the Wolves on Monday evening. Tills should be a swell game as Russell will be ou tiie mound for Hayues while the Wolves, now under the management of Carl ?lghtfoot, will have a powerhouse ou the field with a number of former Slncl&lre champions listed lu the Wolves battlefront. Next Wednesday the Hermitage take on the Wolves and on Friday Kendalls take on the Hayues team. The score Wednesday was as follows : Hay nes 5 11 2 Hermitage 2 6! 2 llat tor lea: Russell and Wilson; Lynch, Caulder and -Harrison. In preparing for this war, had thought ' of the most minute details, but that all organizations^ whether military or : civilian, dovetailed their activities so , effectively.
