Nazi Victory Is Pledged— After Raid Goering Declares He Will Remember RAF—After Defeat Of Bolshevists London, Jan. :!()— (AT) — Keichsn\arshal Hermann Goer ing' pledged final vietorv to the German people <>n tin- tenth an niversary today of Adolf Hit ler's rise to power in a broad cast to the nation. lie said there would lie a new nazi offensive in thu spring "In a thousand years to come," Goering said, "every German will still know that Germany, at Stalingrad, has set the final stamp of ultimate vic tory." Paying his rcspects to the British air force, he added this: "On the day we finally crush bol shevik resistance I will remem ber what the KAF has done to Germany." Speaking of a trapped army of a lew thousand men which the Rus sians said once totaled 220,001), Goer my declared that "'a people which light as the Germans are lighting at Stalingrad can and must win." H« extorted his hearers to further wai c I torts. He announced that llitlcr was with his troops—the sector was unspecified — and evidently meant that he would fail to make an anniversary speech for the second time since he suc ceeded General von Iliudenberg as chancellor in 1933. Addressing himselt to the German army, the reichsmarshal said: "Manv r.i you experienced the rigors of the Russian winter and the weakness '>i certain German commanders. It was men that the fuehrer, with hi.- dis play of toughness, held the whole German front himself." After recounting the hardship en countered iti the Russian campaign. Goering attempted to bolster the German spirit with the ascrtion: "1 am convinced that Russia is now using her last reserves." He an nounced that Hitler had ordered the mobilization of all remaining re sources of Germany.
