Germans Admit West Wall Defenses May Be Broken Continued From Page One moment. Nevertheless, we ask, you most urgently to take every step possible to move away from the vicinity of all important railway and industrial installations." Tojo, who knows that if the western invasion succeeds. his country stands alone against the Allied might, delivered a radio peptalk picturing Germany a8 "fully prepared to meet any situation she may find herself confronted with" and added that "Germany has perfected a position enabling her to carry through with -offensive operations." Warned Against Moves The British people were warned again that these "counter-offensive" moves might include an attempt by the Nazis to. land on the British Isles in the hope of disrupting the plans of the Allied invasion chieftains.

There was reason to believe, on the basis of reports from Sweden, that Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the German anti-invasion chief. was being proclaimed the potential saviour of the Reich, rather than Hitler. Nazi propaganda, by turns defeatist and propagandist, favors the defeated but still popular Rommel in the role of leading spectacular counter-invasion move. Talk of vast combat preparations along the Atlantic Wall came from Propaganda Minister Goebbels as he attempted to bolster the home front and' impress outsiders. He cited the assembly of elite parachute troops to grapple with the invaders.
