Lieutenant-General George E. Stratomoyar, com- mander of the Far East Air Forces, warns that it would be a serious mistake to

use the Korean campaign as a model for planning future military operations.

The primary lesson the army, navy and air force should heed is that Korea could lead to false conclusions about how to fight a modern military power, General Stratemeyer said. The success of the whole series of operations in Korea

GERMAN BRUDERSCHAFT COMES INTO THE OPEN

Hamburg, October 19.

Germany's Bruderschaft, "brotherhood" of former army officers and Naxi loadors, is coming more into the open as the Western Occupa- tion Powers relax their grip on the country. It has sent some of its young men, often wearing dyed army tunics, riding breeches, and of- ficers' topboots, to North German meetings to explain their aims.

They are working to create a "true clite", destined to rule by virtue of their personality and ability." In the words of the Bruderschaft's programme, they want to "preserve the tradition of the German Fuchrer (leader) principle until we can take the fate of our nation into our own hands again." miniscent of Hitler and Frederic The programme, indeed, is re-

This appears to be a long-term alm. But in the meantime, mem- bers declare, "We oppose a setting up of German military forces un- der any Western Supreme Com- mand. We want pure-bred German Army within European defence forces and with German representation in an European general staff".

means of digging deeply, one can discover a good deal about the hitherto secret Bruderschaft now that it has reached the public meeting stage.

The leadership is a castc-con_ scious body of former Staff officers of Hitler's crack division, Gross- deutschland (Greater Germany), and high-ranking members of the dreaded SS Blackshirts. It was born оп the day of Germany's de- feat, May a, 1945, in

in a prisoner of war camp of Grossdeutschland troops in Schleswig-Holstein.

Under the shock of defeat, their first thought was to make use of their esprit de corps and their battlefield comradeship, as stablising factor in Germany's "We felt that internal struggles. the fate that had overcome us ali had to be borne by us all regard- one's individual less of each standing," one of the founders ex- plained.

An indication of 'the scale which the ground forces given air cover is the fact that along the old Pusan perimeter there were about three fighter | sorties per day per mile. When it Is considered a fighter could cover the whole perimeter in about 15 minutes, it is seen how crowded the air just ahead of the front lines was with fighter planes.
