"Victory Might Come Quite Soon," Says Spokesman Berlin, May 5 Germany thus far has produced numerous surprises and therefore it was not to be unexpected that additional surprises might be possible through which "victory might come quite soon," authorized German spokesmen said today.
They added that Hitler's primary intention was to announce, regardless of American claims, that Germany always would have "the best weapons no "matter the length of the war.
They said that it was not the practice here to *hang a tail to the Fuhrer's statements," explaining that Germany attributes importance to the confidence of Germans that they "will win the war....It is secondary to us when,"—United Press, Zurich. May 5.
