But there is no definite indication that Hitler him- self or Himmler is ready for peace. On the contrary, there are definite indications that they are deter mined to fight fanatically to the end. This time, the Nazi leaders have organized a Secret Service infinitely more ruthless than anything known in the Kaiser's day, with the result that they have maintained the whip hand so far over any German military leader who may pine for peace. Finally, the Volkssturm or People’s Army, thrown in to fill the gaps in the regular army, has made iup in ferocity what it lacks' in experience. Weighing all these factos top Allied military strategists figure the war in Europe probably won't end before April 1, and should not last longer than July 1.
