HITLER LINES
UP HIS LINE
Herr Hitler requested newspaper correspondents of neutral countries to make a tour of the Western Fronl, Including the Siegfried Line, because, he said, according to the Berlin cor-|| respondient of the Amsterdam "Tele- #tranf," quoted by Reuter, he wanted to save unnecessary bloodshed.
The tour was to have been made. so that the newspaper correspondents; could "Inform the world on the real state of this modern line of fortifica-
luns."
A high German officer, who necom- panied the correspondents, told the "Telegrant" correspondent that Hitler had ordered the tour to be made at Gnce.
The Fuchrer, he said, knew how strong the lino was because he him- self had planned part of the fortifica tions. Hitler, he added, knew better then anyone else that an attempt to break through the line would result, in hopeless bloodshed. Marcover, he was convinced that the strategic result would be negative to the
enemy.
According to the German officer, rumours of defects in the Siegfried line were incorrect.
