Preparations for a Hitler putsch in Germany are assuming daily a more serious character. Military manoeuvres of the National Socialists are reported today from different parts of the country.
At Suedbaden near Hanover, as well as at Gross Heydekrug and Skaisgirren in East Prussia, the National Socialists Sounded an alarm call at night and assembled their Storm Troops for night manoeuvres. Trained automobile detachmants and aeroplanes of the National Socialist Storm Tropps also participated in these manoeuvres. At Nurenberg all officers of the Nazi troops have been recalled by local executive from their holidays.
The aim of these preparations is to ascertain in the first-place, the Socialist paper of Hanover declares, how many reliable fighters will be available for a Hitlerist putsch should the necessity arise.
Documentary evidence are now available in connection with the instructions issued by the National Socialist headquarters in Munich to their local branches including a list of the officers of the Reichswehr with remarks which of these officers are to be considered reliable or unreliable in case of an Hitlerist revolt.
It is understood that the instructions of the Nazi headquarters in Munich have fallen into the hands of the Reich authorities and then passed on to the Public Prosecutor who may take action against the National Socialist leaders, charging them with high treason.
