BULLETIN
26 September 19hl
Germans in Italy report ed confident concerning outcome
of German- Russian conflict althouch confidence was not
shown previously.
They now b9lieve Hitler was justi-
fied in attackine; at time he did because of th<> strength
of the Russian army which was not anticipated .
They
admitted that i t is not probable t!oscow '111.11 be r eached
before winter sets in.
Hitler, accor ding to Sctulurre, prominent i n the Na zi
Foreign Office, is particularly irritat ed by t he attitude maintai ned by Sweden toward developments in Norway, it is reported.
Planes and troops reported crossing Huneary ontheir
way to
~aria .
I n Budapest this is considered to
be a forei"UIVIer of a Oermandrive against the Turks.
Much German freight r eported piled up near three
lare;e me rchant vessels at Naples .
Nazis reported using on Russian r'ront a de-oxydizing
. agent, contained in projectiles hurled from 1110rtars,
which kills both animal and vegetable life, only as a
last report and in the course of operation where isolation makes secrecy possible .

Plans are now being worked
on which seek to build up the coalbined p r oduction rate to
