Life With The .
German Army
BY LOUIS P, LOCHNER
Berlin? (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.
