Title
Luftpost Ausgabe Süd Nummer 25
Description
On 27th July 1944, Moscow has made several announcements about railway hubs and places being captured in East Prussia: the Vistula has been crossed by the Red Army; Brest-Litovsk encircled and the German Northern army group cut off. On 26th July a new offensive started under General Meretskov in the eastern coastal area. Two German generals have been taken prisoner.
The names and fate of the generals who made an assassination attempt on Hitler have been published a week after the event. The article discusses the growing control being exerted by the Gestapo and SS over the Wehrmacht. A few generals have expressed their loyalty to Hitler but others remain silent.
There are reportedly divisions running through both camps. Hardline Nazis and the German leadership want the war to continue even if it destroys Germany because their own future depends on it. Germans and party members want to surrender to save what can be salvaged. It claims many in the last group would rebuild German military strength in peacetime to get ready for World War Three.
Allied army advances near Florence and Pisa are discussed.
17 German generals appeal to the German generals and officers to break off from Hitler and his circle, and refuse to carry out their orders. They ask for an immediate ceasefire.
The American army went on the offensive in Normandy on 25th July, supported by 1500 large fighter planes. The article describes the extent of the incursion and the resulting impact on the German forces. The English Second Army is on the offensive south of Caen.
There is a report on the heavy bombing raids by the RAF and the United States on German industrial targets.
On his second visit to the Normandy front, Churchill revealed that in the summer of 1940 England had only 20 tanks and 100 field guns.
