Army Crushed In London an authorized spokesman termed the claims of the German communique "grossly exaggerated." The German high command reported that the ninth French army, defending the Meuse front from Namur to Sedan, had been crushed in "the big gest attacking operation of all time." By contrast, a British spokes man described the battle on the western front as "more confus ed thsn ever, with everybody behind everybody else's lines." It was apparently a wide- open scrimmage, as confusing as parts of a football game. A British spokesman said there were "bands of German tanks wandering about, living on the country" in a wide sal ient striking Into France. He said, however, they were be coming more vulnerable to counter attack." The nazi high command re ported that "General Giraud. hitherto commander of the seventh French army, who as sumed command over the ninth army," had been captured with his general staff. (Presumably, the high com mand referred to Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, recently identi fied as commanding "groups of armies" in the "battle of the Bulge" in northern France). The German communique said Hitler's armies were "crowding toward the channel coast all the French and Belgian armies still to be found north of the Sorame."

Chief Watches Hitler's Air Force Operate On Front in West Campaign (Editor's notei Louis P. Loch ner, chief of the Berlin bu reeu of the Associated Press, has gone to the western front with the German forces by personal Invitation of Adolf Hitler In the first trip to the front offered to foreign cor respondents. Here la his first story.) By LOUIS P. LOCHNER WITH THE GERMAN WEST ERN ARMIES, May 20 () The air force la Germany's super-ace in this war. The first line, therefore, usu ally la where the diva bombers have done their devastating work but only now, with the German forces at last, am I able to see what the air arm really means in war. It has been the dream of every newspaperman in Berlin, ever since May 10 when the relch'a gigantic offensive by way of Hoi land and Belgium began, to see Hitler's amazing and awe-inspir ing armed forces in action. Three Invited Not until yesterday, however, did the fuehrer's invitation give permission for three Americans to loin the active forces. -After crossing over from the fist German border town In the dust and morning mist mingled with clouds of smoke from roar ing planes, it took us but a short time to realize how war has been revolutionized by the air force. This is how Germany operates in this decisive area: First, an air squadron deter mines Just how enemy troops are moving. Bombers Go to Work The fliers learn exactly the strength of the enemy's forces, their equipment, types of wea pons used and other details. With this Knowledge, rein forced by photographs, the Ger mans terrorizing Stukas (dive bombers), followed by heavy bombers, dash madly down upon the enemy, smashing towns if necessary through wnicn troops are pushing, demolishing railway tracks, telephone lines and industrial plants and anni hilating marching columns. Meanwhile tha air informa tion service informs speedy mechanized units .where - the German Maneuvers Worked Out in Detail By Fuehrer By CLINTON B. CONGER BERLIN. May 21 (UP) Like Frederick the Great, Chancellor Adolf Hitler alone works out tha campaigns of the German armies down to the very last detail and personally leads them in battle, Field Marshal Her mann Goering said today. He gave the fuenrer unre served and unqualified credit for conceiving, planning and di recting the execution of the nazi blitzkriegs in Poland, Nor way and western Europe. Goering, paying a brief visit to Berlin from field head quarters, did not even take a bow for tha devastating role taken by the German air force in those campaigns. ' Those laurels, too, he draped about the shoulders of Hitler. The field marshal, who also is air minister, received the press in the air ministry for a discussion of the military con duct of German warfare. To the reporters he himself put the questions: "Wno is responsible for the overwhelmingly successful plan ning of the campaign in Poland and Norway, as well as now in western Europe?" Take the First Federal Way bombing has been successful. Quick as lightning these dart forward In the face of the enemy with death disdaining courage while the foe la In utter con fusion, ' Brigades Replaced After these mobile forces have routed the enemy, the main army is ready to move in. We had one glimpse of Ger many's extreme preparedness when we saw with what apeed bridges are replaced. The fact Is that . Germany's army engineers have exactly-fit ting substitute bridges ready for every strategic river or canal crossing in Belgium or France likely to be dynamited or other wise damaged. German reinforcement cars bring all this ready-made equip ment with them on wheels in the motorized vanguard. Another indication . of pre paredness in every detail came to us when in our 400-mile drive from Berlin to tha last German frontier station we passed through Munster, in West phalia, the scene of the signing of the Westphalian peace treaty in 1648 which brought to an end the Thirty Years' war. Hitler Determined Hitler already seems deter mined that if he forces England and France to their knees he will make their representatives come to Munster's picturesque and ancient hall to sign on the dotted line. In other words. Hitler is not content now with wiping out the last vestiges of the Ver sailles treaty. His mind goes back to 1648 when the Germany of the Holy Roman empire was broken up into principalities and power less miniature states. How completely the air force dominates the situation was ap parent to us during the cross country drive. Long columns of anti-aircraft guns, cannon, air force supply cars and gasoline vehicles were moving with unseating regular ity toward the actual operations area. If any column called for a short rest, two anti-aircraft guns were mounted immediately and the sharpest lookout kept for any possible enemy. Without pausing, he respond ed: "The fuehrer Is the originator of these plans. In long nights for weeks and months, Adolf Hitler got acquainted with every possibility of military de velopments, and with all event ualities of enemy counter actions. "All plans for operations ac cording - to which Germany's army is led to victory are thought out by the- fuehrer. He even outlines all minor actions down to the very last detail." Goering said that German tacticians had considered Fort Eben Emael, in the northeast corner of Belgium at the junc ture of the Albert canal and the Meuse river, the strongest fort In the world. But even that allied stronghold guarding the gateway to Belgium was taken "In conformity with plans msde by the fuehrer himself," Goer ing said.
