| 28 Jul 1944, R. E. Jones Wartime diary Posted: 04 Jun 2014 07:26 PM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Fri, 28 Jul 1944 A beautiful day. The bad weather seems to have exhausted itself. Coal issued in lieu of firewood. H.Qs and godown preparing for change of administration. Ground bread rice. Jap paper hard put to cover our advances on all fronts. Goebbels makes a stupid speech describing the attempt on Hitler's life and avers therein that Hitler is still alive. Why should he have to make a long speech to that effect if Hitler himself could have spoken or shown himself. Consensus is, He is either dead or so seriously injured that Goebbels had to act for him. The whole affair shows that rot has set in at the head of the German Army. New Ad. to take over 31st.inst. i/c Col. Takanada, Mr. Hakimura [?] will act a laison [sic] officer between him & Hattori in the F.A. office. Raid by 1 plane about 2.30am. With Steve pm. |
