an interest-free basis over 40

Germans Scout
Hitler Escape
Kiel, July 21 (U.R) High Ger
man naval officials say Adolf
Hitler and Eva Braun definitely
could not have escaped to Ar
gentina aboard the recently in
terned U-boat 530.
Vice Admiral Eberhard Godt,
chief executive staff officer of
Germany's U-boat fleet under
Grand Admiral Karo Doenitz,
said yesterday that the U-530
"went to sea from Kiel or a
Norwegian post but probabl.it i
from Kiel on March 3. P
Hitler was known to have
been still in Germany later than
that.
British intelligence officers
said they were "99 percent" sat
isfied that Hitler and his girl
friend did not escape by sea
and that Adolf died in Berlin.
Godt said the U-530 was
never ear-marked for any spe
cial Hitler mission. He said, as
far as he knew, there had never
been any submarine plans for
Hitler's escape.
Vice Admiral Helmuth Meye,
one of Germany's greatest naval
intelligence chiefs, said:
"I believed that Hitler died
in the Berlin chancellery. It is
impossible for a man like Hit
ler to live as an unknown Mr.
X. If he did not die in Berlin
it would be impossible for me
and Doenitz not to know about
it."

Smith, president of Willamette
