HITLER CLEARED ON ONE COUNT The official history of World War II, from the Brit- sh viewpoint, is now being released volume by volume m Britain, as the editions are completed and come off! e press. The second volume, covering the war in| rance in 1940, has just been released. . The most interesting official viewpoint in that vol- me is the expressed opinion that it was several famous ‘azi Generals, and not Adolph Hitler, as the Generals aimed, who prevented the German Army from com- letely smashing the British Army at Dunkirk in the gonizing days of June, 1940. Some 400,000 British soidiers escaped from a Ger- | an trap and encirclement in those crucial days and the | orld wondered why the victorious Nazi Army did not | et upon those fleeing troops with a vengeance. After | e war the Nazi Generals blamed orders from the | uhrer’s headquarters for the German failure to attack strength. The German dictator was then dead and the Ger-| an Generals’ version was generally accepted. Now, | pia owever, the official British military history, which re-| ects much research, says it was the Generals who fail-! d to grasp the situation and not Hitler. In fact, the! look just released says Hitler’s intuition was often right md the Generals were often wrong throughout World ar II. It is a known fact that Hitler, in contrast to most f his advisers, came to the conclusion shortly before | WR = Chapter 13 GHORTLY after that, the sheriff and the coroner both left, taking with them Claude’s body.

Was it either settled, or all that mat- tered? I wandered owt onto the south gallery, where presently I was joined by Amédeée. “What do you think of i all, sitting down By Amelia Reynolds Long “I don’t know, Dédé,” I an- ia Pa me coe be Sea sie of them is, how a one Claude could have stumbled over the end of the sword when it was IS DEATH, MY DARLING! thrust through his belt,” he said. | called “I was inside just now experi- menting with one of Grandpére’s canes, and I’'H be a7 could find out how he did it” “Thank Heaven you had sense enough to use a cane instead of the sword!” I exclaimed. “You might have found out.” He looked so pleased at that, I was afraid we were going to sidetracked from our subject.

He didn’t answer directly. “We may as well face the facts before somebody else faces them for us,” he said. “Even if Claude did die around half past two, it still doesn’t give Beau a clean bill of health. e to think of it, when Lewis and Henri and I went out to the garconniéres, I can’t re- mGb, bet be aid go out, is 5 id out, later,” I said. “I saw him™ I explained about seeing the three shadows leaving the lighted room downstairs, and about Pick’s strange vigil in the upper hall. “But here’s the part I can’t under- stand,” I) finished. “How did he co back into the house?
