Hitler
Not Dead
WERNER VON BLOMBERG, the Nuzi War Minister who warned Hitler against launching war and was therefore dropped, is still alive at his Wiessee, Upper Bavaria, house.
Uncertainty about his fate grew both inside and outside Germany after reports that Blomberg and number of his friends bad incurred Hitler's wrath.
An announcement of the death of sister, Margarete von Blomberg. appeared in the "Deutseite Allgemeine Zeitung". She died in Berlin at the nge of €5.
The amouncement is signed by Werner von Blomberg in the nome of his family.
Bomber's marriage to a typist in the War Ofee created a sensation carly in 1938, and served as a pre- text for the pro-Hitler generală to oust him from office.
