Hitler Delays Statement On Nazi Advance
Berlin reports a successful bombing of a Soviet army staff headquarters at Var Castle on the eastern front. Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's field command postponed a promised statement detailing full German victories. Officials said the moment was not opportune to lift the curtain and disclose military operations, with hours or days likely before the amazing successes are announced. Speculation runs high Berlin may have overemphasized early gains while Moscow rejects Russian war communiques as too fantastic.
