Show SECRET WEAPON TALK BY NAZI IS RACKET The Nazi officials are attempting attempt-ing to secure psychological effects ef-fects by boasting of "secret weapons," weap-ons," either to boost home morale or to wreck enemy morale and the various stories are being widely circulated by Allied and neutral correspondents and commentators who need something to write about. The latest yarn comes from Zurich, Zu-rich, Switzerland, and tells of a rocket shell, forty-five feet long and weighing twelve tons, which the Germans expect to use against Britain before the Allies complete plans for the invasion of western Europe. This is interesting, if true. The surest evidence is that it is hokum, hok-um, however, is the publicity given giv-en the rockets by the Germans themselves. Obviously, if the Nazis have a ' weapon of power, which they plan to use against their enemies at a propitious opportunity, op-portunity, they would not be advertising ad-vertising it and thus lose the effect ef-fect of a surprise attack. |
