Strategy. Day by day at German Army Headquarters somewhere in the Rhineland last week, Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring and their commanding generals-von Brauchitsch, Keitel, Milch, Guderian-contemplated their operations map of Western Europe with profound satisfaction. Everything was working according to plan. Attack has always appealed to the German mind. And now they had such an attack! Their first push had already driven straight across Holland to Rotterdam. Before the Allied Armies rushing northward from the French border had time to reach prepared Belgian positions along the Albert Canal from Antwerp to Liége, a swift...
...Waterloo, British officers danced till dawn. Last week, as another no less significant zero hour approached, Germans did equally strange things. Adolf Hitler, as well as Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goring, Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Goring's half-Aryan Air Chief of Staff, Colonel General Erhard Milch, and numerous high Army officers all went to the theatre. Ordinary Germans flocked to the just opened Kurfurstendamm street cafes where young couples enjoyed the privacy of darkness, and oldsters listened to the newest song hit, Woodpecker's Serenade. Foreign correspondents switched off their teletypes and went home to bed. When...
...hrer Hitler promptly bestowed Knight's Crosses of the Iron Cross upon Generals Milch and Geisler and upon Major Harlinghausen, an active pilot and squadron leader, who presumably had crowned his career by leading the dive-bombers down upon the battleship. An extended version of the official German story, which was withheld for 24 hours "to see whether Churchill will have the courage to admit this terrific loss," added the following items to the alleged action...
Active commander of the Air Force and No. 2 German airman is Lieut. General Erhard Milch. General Milch was at Karinhall last weekend, and so was Chief of Staff General Hans Jeschonnek. They had a machine that might destroy a large segment of Western civilization. They may have discussed trying to do so, because this week the German Embassy in Washington took pains to warn that if Britain and France endangered civilians with more active warfare (see p.30) Germany would "retaliate blow for blow." It was respect for Hermann Göring's mighty machine that caused...
...this Erhard Milch, wartime flier, contributed what is probably the greatest advantage the German Air Force has: rigid standardization. His aviators are as much alike as piston rings, and his piston rings are uniform to the ten-thousandth of an inch. Remotely Jewish, born of a druggist, with experience in bigtime civil aviation, Lieut.-General Milch has such a passion for pattern that when a Berlin squadron leaves its barracks and flies to Königsberg, its men are given identical pajamas in identical rooms in identical barracks, and clean their teeth with duplicate brushes bearing their names...
