Possibly Last Pro-invasion Leave For Some

Germans Continue To Predict Allied Push Within Weeks.

By llldwsrd D. Ball

LONDON, Jan. 2 — (AP) -An ever mounting ber of Allied troops thronged the streets of this island capital today as German analysts poured out a. steady stream of invasion alarms pre- dieting that a blow will be struck from the west sooner than h been expected.

London's holiday crowds included great numbers of soldiers from ac- mss the Atlantlc—son.¢ of them obviously new arrivals, and some perhaps enjoying their lust pre- lnvasion leave.

Predict s vuslon Within Weeks

Through press and radio, Nazi propaganda minister Goebbels’ henchmen told Germany that Gen. Eisenhower's supreme stroke would come in a matter of weeks at most. that other Allied blows could be expected elsewhere in Europe. and sought to solace the home front by hammering home the theme that “Germany is ready."

At- Alglers Gen. Dwight D. Els- enhower, taking leave of his North African armies before leaving for his post as commander of Allied invasion forces from Britain, told his battle hardened troops in n. farewell message;._.

"Until we meet again in the heart of the enemy's continental i, hold, I send. Godspeed. and. good luck to each of you along with the assurance of my lasting gratitude and adnniratlon."

Goebbels’ Theme Again and again Goebbels‘ theme

was that Nazi leaders "with cus- tomary thoroughness and strength

the

necwsary measures for defence and counter stroke‘.

"No one can expect peace in

1944." was the solemn New Year's message the war weary German people received tron.- their Nazi leadership.

Other Berlin propaganda broad- casts fell buck on "secret wean- ons" in their efforts to steel Ger- many for the blow to come.
