There is still some speculation about General Giraud's futu plans,
based, in some cases, on the conviction that an escape remarkable could not have been effected unless the Germans, f reasons of their own, had winked at it. There is no solid substan for any such assumption. The fact, I learn from a friend who w lately in Switzerland (to which country, of course, the Genet escaped), is very different and much more encouraging. The prison was, indeed, helped to get through Germany and out of it, not Nazis for purposes of their own, but by anti-Nazis, partly out good nature and partly out of dislike of the regime. This of cou does not go far as evidence of anti-Nazi feeling, hut there are oth bits of evidence that could be added to it—quite enough in tot to account for the uneasiness about German morale displayed b Hitler in his last public speech.
