N O M IL IT A R Y E R R O R Those close up to the w a r picture a re convinced th at aside fro m fau lty intelligence, there was no one single m ilita ry e rro r w hich brought on the sw ift and disastrous G e rm a n b re a k ­ through. Undoubtedly som e intelligence of­ ficers w ill be disciplined or broken fo r fa ilin g to e v alu ate the co n centra­ tion of G erm an troops opposite the F ir s t a rm y about a week before­ hand. But there w ere other factors co n tribu ting to the reverse, none of w hich can be laid a t the doorstep of a single com m ander. B asically they are factors w hich only G en eral E isenhow er and G en eral M a rs h a ll them selves could p ro perly evalu ate and act on. H e re are some of the inside, basic factors involved: 1. G en eral M a rs h a ll him self ordered the V . S. offensive w hich began N o vem b er 8. and w hich continued w ith b a tte rin g -ra m tactics until Von Rundstedt turned the tide against us. M a r ­ shall. visiting the b attlefro n t in O ctober, said th at durin g the w in te r the G erm an s could mo­ bilise 100 new divisions, so it was wise for us to c le a r them off the west bank of the Rhine before w in te r closed in.

H o w ever, these b atte rin g -ra m tactics cost m en. also ; tire men o u t The A m eric an system is to keep divisions on the fro n t line, i bringing up fresh m en only fo r re ­ placem ents. Thus the divisions now at the front have been fighting stead­ ily since the landing in N o rm an d y last June— w ith, of course, a lot of m en coming up as replacem ents. 3. This is considered an excellen t system and gets results. H o w ever, the G erm an s im m e d ia te ly took out th e ir battle troops a fte r N o rm an d y and sent them to rest behind the lines. The N azi boys and old men w e encountered in the S ieg fried line m ade us think the G e rm a n a rm y was shot to pieces, but it w asn’t. The experienced b attle troops, now refreshed a fte r a long rest, are ta k ­ ing the offensive against us. 4. The w a r d e p artm en t itself was responsible for a lot of the fav o rab le news which gave the public a gen­ e ra l feeling of overconfidence. One of its most im p o rtan t indications was th a t some 800,000 G e rm a n troops w ere kille d or taken prisoners durin g the clean-up of F ra n c e , m a k ­ ing a sizable hole in the N a zi a rm y . O f these, how ever, about 400,000 w e re R u ss ia n -U krain ian la b o r bat­ talion s.

TRAPPER'S SUPPLIES Edwards’ Wolf Scrambled Messages The destruction of telephone wires by the Nuzis retreating from France and the Low Countries did not interfe e with the communica­ tions of the pursuing Allies, »ays Colliers. They were equipped with a new cable thut, although no larger than a pencil, carries three telephone and four telegruph cir­ cuits, is laid alongside the road as fast as the troops advance. This cable transmits "scram­ bled” messages which, If inter­ cepted without a special device, sound to the enemy like a se­ ries of meunlngless squeuks and squeals. U se K ohdon ’S -C ount T e n ..
