Guerrilla armies, numbering half a million fanatics, will continue armed resistance, particularly from the Alps; they will be supplied from well-hidden, long-prepared dumps. Thousands of specially trained Nazis will work illegally in Germany, sabotaging the peace, destroying Germans who collaborate with the Allies, keeping aflame the fires of German nationalism and Nazi ideology. A small group of highly trained agents will operate in other countries, will propagandize for a square deal for Germans, then for the return of German property confiscated by Allied governments, eventually for the resurrection of German cartels and industrial strength. Masterminds of this plan are Himmler and Henchmen Ernst Kaltenbrunner and Wilhelm Schepmann (an organizer of anti-Allied sabotage in the Ruhr in 1923).
Last week the new phase of Naziism was fact, not theory. In captured Aachen, which has been under A.M.G. supervision since last October, three German paratroopers sneaked up to the house of non-Nazi Mayor Franz Oppenhof, rapped on his back door, begged for food. When the Mayor appeared, they shot him through the temple. Three days later another non-Nazi, Mayor Velten of Meschede, was assassinated.
The Nazi radio took full credit for the murders. It boasted that underground courts had condemned the collaborating officials to death for treason, that underground killers—"Werewolves"—had carried out the sentence.
