construction in Hamburg, Bremen, Kiel and Danzig, but will not be ready for

     Central Headquarters, air defense set up in Berlin Tiergarten one
minute from Zoo station and eighty meters from Charlottenburger Chaussee. 
It is a large green stone building, resembling a 16th century fortress with 
four of the largest AA guns ever built, in retractible turrets on the roof. 
These guns are said to be able to fire up to heights of 12,000 meters. The 
largest sound locater in Germany is erected in a building close by.
 
     VI. The Russian campaign.
 
                  German losses in men and material in the Russian War are far greater
than in all previous military operations combined.
 
          Hitler did not desire SS troops used on active fronts but Goering, who
has read the writing on the wall for the Nazi party, sent many under fire in 
Serbia, Greece, Crete and Russia. These units suffered heavy casualties, especial-
ly in Russia, around Minsk and Smolensk. One of these SS units did however 
do effective work at Minsk, and later south of Kiev by slipping through the 
Russian lines and giving false orders supposedly emanating from a Russian 
major. These orders caused confusion in the Russian ranks and resulted in 
heavy losses in men and material. The leader of this unit and the man re-
sponsible for the feat was one Captain Donner of SS regiment 17 G (or E ?). 
He was born in St. Petersburg of German parmute, is forty-five years old, and 
of course speaks Hussian like a native. He did successful intelligence work 
in Russia as a member of military delegations before the Russian campaign 
started.
 
     Two motorized and one infantry division which were stationed at Stahns-
dorf and Luchenwald, and especially trained and equipped for African service,
were re-equipped and sent to Russian front because of heavy losses there.
 
     The Germans have nearly 70,000 trained pilots and at least 100,000 more
are being trained. They have suffered heavy losses in Russia among their 
most experienced pilots including l8 of their best squadron leaders during 
the first month.
 
     VII. Coordinated advance on Suez, Malta, and Gibralter.
 
     Notwithstanding the fact that the German General Staff is not
inclined to undertake simultaneous major operations on different fronts 
renewal of action against the Suez is quite probable within the next two to 
four weeks. (Date of this information approximately September 17th. )
 
     The Germans claim that they have moved great quantities of material to
Libya in the last four months and that they now have, in addition to strong 
Italian reinforcements, seven mechanized and infantry divisions. The axis
