German General’s U S Visit Shapes Attack Plans
A German general who helped shape attack plans visited U S army posts including Fort Knox and Fort Benning three years ago while a colonel on Hitler's staff. An unnamed American officer said he studied U S maneuvers here and later used the ideas to plan Germany's actions. The scene includes simulated Sabine River crossings with red versus blue forces and high level visitors like Senators Lodge and Holman evaluating the rearmament program and touring tanks.

Maxwell to Train Pilots at Maxwell Field
Maxwell Field in Montgomery, Alabama awaits Washington orders to become a major pilot training center for the army air forces. The site was selected for a new training center, with operations expected to start by September and capacity for about 1,200 pilots annually. Barracks have been expanded and more temporary buildings may be added as the influx grows. Walter Weaver, Maxwell commander, would not discuss specifics until formal instructions arrive. The 23rd Composite Group began testing new aviation ideas last year, with unclear plans to relocate it.
