V CALL RALLIES EUROPE
TO REVOLUTION
REVOLUTION THROUGHOUT THE GER- MAN-OCCUPIED TERRITORIES IS THE ULTIM- ATE OBJECT OF BRITAIN'S “V FOR VICTORY” RADIO CAMPAIGN.
"We are mobilising 100,000,000 Allies against Germany; one day we will give the signal for them to go over the top," said the B.B.C.'s European news editor, Mr. N. F. Newsome.
RUSSIANS' GOOD AIR DEFENCE
Since the beginning of hostilities on the Eastern Front, the German Air Force has sought to raid Moscow nineteen times, but almost half the com- muniques reporting this have stated that "enemy aircraft were unable to penetrate our defences."
strated to foreign correspondents
Reports already received from Europe show that the mobilisa- tion of the V army was an Im- mediate success.
"We are broadcasting in 25 languages, 178 hours each week," said Sir Stephen Tallents, con- troller of the B.B.C.'s Overseas services.
"Evidence shows that we are getting through to the people we] want to reach."
He revealed that the origina. tor of the "V for Victory" slogan was a Bolglan, de Lan. delay, who is a B.B.C. announc-

The reporters spent three hours at an emplacement of four power- ful guns that were adroitly hid- den so as to render their detection from the air extremely difficult.
This battery, it was stated, has already shot down four Nazi 'planes and was partially responsible for driving off the raiders at night with heavy fire.
This correspondent hus seen many other anti-aircraft batteries in different countries and can truthfully say that none excelled that visited.

In Norway, it was bad form to visit friends when bulletins were coming in.
Other evidence from all over Europe shows a mobilisation in German-occupied territories.
Czechs celebrated the second anniversary of the German occu- pation by chalking up V signs. with the words, "We Never Give In."
Czech workers went to the factories, but did not work. They sang national songs, and made patriotic speeches. The police intervened, and riots ro. sulted.
A widespread purge is now tak- ing place in the Nazi party and it has thus far affected chiefly men in the middle and lower grades of the Nazi hierarchy, making it difficult to tell where the "big men" stand or whether they are concerned at all.
The split is cald to cut deeper Into the Nazi regime and to be a more parious matter for Hitler than any clashes with ambitious Individuals
party leaders.

The present internal dissension had its origin in the Russian war. Hitler is having trouble with men who from the start were against the Soviet war, or blame each other for its lack of success, or are discouraged and flagging in their support of the party.
