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." ' -

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.

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.

reports that after reading a Ber
trand Russell book he had to
take a bath. Here, then, Is the
