SECRET WEAPONS
r Hitler's boast of secret weapons
may not have been idle talk, and
has caiised much concern among
his enemies. He claims that
will not be sprung until
cial moment. The big Uprise of
the last war was the “|pt bertha,
long range gun that jfie Germans
used to shell Parts. -The gun i
firing at a dlst&££| estimated
45 miles and was never 1T“
High officials believe that
many has many guns in the Sleg-
fred line that are even larger and
shoot further than the' big bertha
’ and an automatic cannon operated
l>y wireless is beltebed to be a very
destructive weapon The intense
sabtharine warfare and magnetic
mines were somewhat of a surprise
to the Allies, claim German offi
rials.
