Abstract

Behind the Enemy Line
October 2, 1943 issue

add to cart   close window

The newspapers, it will be remembered, reported that the German radio was announcing a severe defeat for the Fifth Army, the beginning of its evacuation, a new Dunkirk. Then they told that the Germans had "tuned down." And finally they rebuked the public for having been influenced by enemy propaganda. Now it may be useful to know that such announcements were never made in Germany and never "tuned down." In no official communique, in no comment published by any German newspaper or broadcast by any German station, was there one word about a defeat of the Fifth Army, its reembarcation, a Dieppe, or Dunkirk, or Gallipoli.
