October 6 1942 At Dr, :Benes invitation I lu#ched alone with him today at the in a private room. He gave me the following inforaation: He has jilst learned from what he believes to be a responiible source, and which was again confirmed to him this morning, that General Halder the German Chief of Staff, has. been dismissed. He has been succeeded by Major General Tretzler, who has been advancec rapidly to this high office, contrary to the general practice in pro- motions in the German Army. Dr. Bones regards this change as of extreme importance for the following reasons: On August 9th there was held an important defense council, attended by Hitler, to deal with the military problems that would arise after the capture of Stalingrad, which it was assumed would take place in a week, that is by August 16th. A quarrel ensued between Hitler and the older Generals, including General Halder. The latter group wished to continue the offensive operation to the north, in order to get behind Moscow, destroy Timoshenkofs army, ;Inc finish the war before the winter sets in. Hitler was against this proposal. He wanted to stabilize the Eastern front after taking the Caucasus, and then to free one hundred divisions for the West, and for concentration against Great Britain. This quarrel between the Generals and Hitler was of course useless, because Stalingrad has not in fact fallen. Nevertheless, the dismissal of Hafder is prob- ably related to the quarrel, and his dismissal and that of von Bock is punishment for the failures in connection with Stalingrad. The eismissal of General Haider is confirmation of the fact that Hitler has destroyed any possible revolt among the Generals. 1 eparations are now going on everywhere for a defensive war in Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/19: CIA-RDP13X00001.R000100120009-2 IMINIMIEME.10.11.111011011EMBREVIEwaim f#141' Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/19: CIA-RDP13X00001R006100120009-2 IMO , 7. 5 ! dii tho Westa ? 7 The Germans hays mude 'their 'got bi Wens v ; they are not capable of another on this scale, The $0144 military machine, however, remains powerful and terrible, 4nd thcra is no question but that tho subject nations will continuo to bo stArved into submission.

A military defeat is a necessary preliminary for the collapse. With regard to transportdifficulties within Germany, Dr. Benes said that on August 31 last, there were 594,000 railway car.,4 including those taken from the subject countries; there were 632,000 railway cars when the war began. With regard to locomotives, last month there were 6,000 less than required. ' With regard to Africa, and the attitude of the Italians; they feel certain of an allied offensive in North Africa. Mussolini fears any such offensive and has asked Hitler for help from In response, movements of German engineers and materiel are crossing the Brenner and defensive operations in Sicily are now berIng carried out. With regard to Spain, Franco has taken two important decisions 1) he has reached the conclusion that Germany will not win over Russia, and that Germany will therefore not win the war, and 2) that Spain must take into consideration the disappearance of the German Fascist Government. This, in Dr. Benest opinion, is import- ant inasmuch as Franco is a Fascist himself and because the infor- mation comes from a guaranteed source. With regard to Russia, Draenes merely repeated the point of view of Russian officials, to the effect that-, there will be no further action against Moscow this year, and that while anotNer month of this effort may be expected in the region of the Caucasus, there will be no Russian disaster this autumn on either side of the Declassified and Approved For Release 2013/09/19: CIA-RDP13X00001R000100120009-2 ." c ;--i;-- ???

The situation at 3tanfor6. la like it is with a numter of semi-publio institutions of learning. First one agency and then another nails upon them for help. They would like to give their information and help tnrough one dosioatod orEanization and, I be- lieve, aro open to suggestions whereby the OSS and our office could be the sole point of contact with them. He thinka the beat way to do it is to start out 'with the Food Research Inst!,tuto and gradually enlarge it to all the various Departments of Stanford University.

James Murphy Office of Strategic Services South Building 25th and E Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. Dear Mi. Murphy: The other day I telephoned you and received author- ity to spend up to $200.00 on the project of the Analysis of Political Trends in Russia. The man who is to prepare this Analysis is Mr. Vladimir S. Bebenin. Mr. Bebenin has a keen mind and an interesting background of investigating, research and political science training and activities. He has already been processed as a candidate for SO or SI training with your organization and his personal history statement has been for' warded to Commander Vanderbilt. The scheme of his project mill be somewhat as followst Without drawing on any information of enemies of the Soviet System or the Communist Idea, but by relying solely on positive statements made by those in this movement and frienas of it, the pattern nay be traced. Mr. Bebenin has been conducting research and studies along this line for some fourteen years. As a student in Political Science at the University of California, this type of research has brought considerable favorable comment from the head of the Department He has discovered a definite connection between the polity of the Communist Party and certain seemingly incon- sequential things that happened throughout the world in Red organizations, Pink organizations, and umorg Liberals in gen- eral. He will prepare a raster plan whieh can then be used by events in the outeide world to detect the line of action in Rmssia and conversely, by knowing somewhat of the changing policy in Russia, one could predict the reactions to this in other parts of the world. Arter receiving your authority to engage this nan. I r4sume4 some discussions I had had regarding this matter mitls 0-2 ef the fourth Army end Western Defense Command.

Mr Barber() is an ardent patriotic American citizen wh-) is convinced that the Italian aeople have endured unbelieveable suffering under Facism and that they would welcome deliverance from the domination of -ussolini. believes Mussolini could very readily be removed as the leader of the Italian people and replaced by a member of the i-Loyal Family provided certain strategy could be employed. He realizes that the Army and Navy have plans of their own, as Comlaander Var:derbilt stated in his letter, but he firmly believes that an expeditionary force composed of Italian-Americans placed strategically somewhere in the rediterranean could der,oralize the Facist forces in Italy and cause the Italian eeople to overthrow their present leaders. Vr Darbero is very familiar with Italian patriot psychology, having served in the Italian Army in his early youth, and has asked me to intercede with the pi:Ter officials so that he may aain present his Ideas and somehow cssiat in bringing about a rapid disintegration of the forces that are misleading the Italian peopJe.
