david irving Secretly Overheard:
HAUSSER: Right after the invasion started, and when the Führer
complained because we hadn’t pushed the Americans into the sea, I
explained to him that I couldn’t make up with my armoured contingents
alone [II. S.S. Panzerkorps] for the failure of the Navy and the
Air Force.
GUDERIAN: During the Polish campaign [1939], the Führer was
with me, only 50 metres behind the front line. He was still with me in
France [1940], but never in Russian –
AMERICAN OFFICER: He would stay around as long as everything
went well but no longer?
GUDERIAN: That was not the reason, he left because he had to fly
south [to Winniza]. Only a few weeks ago [on .. März 1945] he was still
at some Divisionsgefechtsstand near the Oder. He was not to be blamed
himself; the Führer was no coward. The fault lay with his friends who
kept him more and more in the dark without themselves
knowing anything about warfare. . . There actually were some men
in his circle, men of the Führerhauptquartier such as [Generaloberst
Alfred] Jodl, [Generaloberst Kurt] Zeitzler, or [Reichsleiter Martin]
Bormann, who never came anywhere near the front.
I never heard anyone present a viewpoint at the Führerhauptquartier
which differed from that of the Führer.
AMERICAN OFFICER: That is not what Göring told us.
GUDERIAN: That is unquestionably true. They argued at every
meeting . . . but those were one-sided arguments.
der Angriff gegen Rußland fror im Schnee vor Moskau ein; im
Frühjahr 1942 setzte Hitler die Offensive fort. Die Stimmung unter
den neuesten Ankömmlingen beim C.S.D.I.C. war nicht gut.
Das im folgenden abgehörte Gespräch am 4. Juni 1942 zwischen
dem Leutnant Wahler – Pilot eines Junkers-88 Bombers – und dem
Jagdflieger Leutnant Fröschl (Messerschmitt-109F) wurde vom
britischen Geheimdienst wegen seines besonderen Interesses dem
Ministerpräsidenten Winston Churchill gezeigt.
LEUTNANT WAHLER: Wenn diesen Sommer die russische Industrie
nicht geschlagen ist, dann sehe ich schwarz. . . Ich glaube eben
