Dad Henpecked? Well,This
Should Change His Mind!
The next time Dad complains
about being henpecked, remind
him that greater men than he
have endured worse. Take Abe
Lincoln, for instance, his wife of
ten drove him out of the house
with a broom for napping on the
hall sofa, and the tongue-lashings
she administered in public were
the talk of the country.
Xanthippe, wife of Socrates, was
a shrew. Her husband’s indiffer
ence to money matters sometimes
drove her into a rage. When this
happened, she gave vent to her
feelings by dousing a bucket of
water over her husband’s head.
And that, too, so the neighbors
could see and be amused.
One historian puts Disraeli’s
wife, Catherine of France, and
Henrietta, wife of Charles I, in
the same category. The latter went
a bit far and in a fit of religious
real had her husband’s head cut off.

Blonde Aviatrix Arranged Suicide
Plane Project for German Victory
Hanna Reitsch’s Plan Still Incomplete
When Nazi Defeat Ended World War II
By PAULINE FREDERICK
WNU Foreign Correspondent.
Nuernberg, Germany. —
Never before In history has so
much of how a war began and
how it was fought come to light so
quickly after that war’s end as is
happening today in Germany. There
is not alone the incredible tale
that is unfolding in the green-cur
tained courtroom here in Nuernberg.
But a thousand other chapters are
being revealed all over this torn
country that will eventually com
plete the piece.
One of these is the story of how
the Germans toyed with the idea
of developing suicide planes to re
pel an invasion fleet in 1943 when
their dreams of world conquest had
come to an end in Russia. This tale
impact with the water would kill
the pilot instantly and allow the
bomb to tear loose from the plane
and continue under the keel of the
vessel where it would explode with
a time fuse that would be set in
motion upon impact with the water.
Hitler Lukewarm to Plan.
Then on February 28. 1944, Reltsch
had a three-hour conference with
Hitler at Berchtesgaden to convince
him that he should accept the plan
and name the proper leadership.
The aviatrix had long been con
vinced, undoubtedly for personal as
well as professional reasons, that
Goering was not the man for his I
job, to say nothing of this one. Hitler
didn’t like the self-sacrificing idea
IT WAS HIS FAULT . . . Hanna Reitsch lays the failure of the suicide plane
project to Reichsmarshal Hermann Goerlng. The ex-chief of the ex-luft
waffe Is shown here as he talked to Allied war correspondents in a deten
tion camp. His facial expressions were dubbed his “injured innocence” act.
has just come to light in intelli
gence reports released at Frankfurt,
and the star of the piece is a blonde
aviatrix named Hanna Reitsch.
Here is the Story:
By 1943 a lot of people in Ger
many, including Reitsch, had be
come convinced that only extra
ordinary measures could bring the
war to a successful end for Ger
many. They decided that if any plan
for invasion of the continent could
be destroyed at the beginning, Ger
many could then be safe enough in
its continental fortress so that the
Allies would be ready to make
peace. Therefore, a small group of
men banded together — a "suicide
squadron” who were willing to give
their lives in some kind of a man
propelled Hying bomb tnat wouia
destroy and sink at a ratio of one
vessel per flying bomb, all the
larger naval craft that were so im
portant in protecting and covering
an invasion force. Reitsch, from
the beginning, was to be the chief
test pilot for such a craft.
In the death of a thousand of their
number the squadron hoped to
save the lives of many thousands.
But plans had not progressed very
far when insuperable obstacles were
encountered. First, Reitsch went to
Luftwaffe authorities and there was
met with the impression that the
Idea was fantastic and the result of
hallucinations of people tired of life
who were looking for a martyr’s end
in the pages of German history.
She had no better success at the
air ministry. Then she took the mat
ter to the aeronautical research
council. After the experts examined
the idea, they decided it was feasi
ble. The plan was to install a 2,000
pound bomb-torpedo in the nose of
a plane, which would be steered into
the water at a certain angle. The
DIDN’T LIKE IT . . . Adolf Hitler
didn’t like Hanna Reitsch’s idea for
“suicide planes.’’ He thought it was
“un-German’’ but finally consented
to have the plans developed.
of the project because he thought it
was "un-German.” Also, he re
fused to believe that Germany’s situ
ation was so precarious and de
manded such unusual measures.
Hitler finally did say that plans
would be developed so that when he
gave the order they could be put
into operation — but until such time
as he chose to speak he didn’t want
to be bothered with the idea any
more.
Meanwhile, 70 or 80 men, care
fully selected, had signed the
pledge: "I hereby volunteer as a
pilot of the manned glider-bomb. I
am convinced that this action will
end with my death.”
Written Exclusively
For WNU Features
Tests on a Messerschmitt 328, to
be launched from the back of a Dor
nier 217 in flight were completed in
April, 1944. When it became ap
parent, however, that production
in any quantity could not begin
for months, it was decided that the
V-l “buzz bomb” should be altered
sufficiently to take care of the
project.
Perilous Test Flights.
A pilot’s compartment was In
stalled in the V-l, and other small
modifications made, and then it was
tested. There was a high fatality
rate among the test pilots, but
Reitsch came through and was con
vinced that this was the weapon
that could be used. The particular
danger in testing these planes was
in landing them, whether as gliders
or with a power unit, because of
the speed and angle at which they
came in. Ship targets were simu
lated by colored smoke bombs on
the ground and dives and ap
proaches were made to test angles
and necessary speeds. An intricate
aiming device was developed. The
most important thing that had to be
done carefully and accurately was
to determine the distance from the
ship that the V-l was supposed to
enter the water. The size and weight
of the ship had to be judged exact
ly. By a sliding scale on the appara
tus before him, the pilot was able
to select his proper angle and main
tain it correctly until his plane en
tered the water. The dive toward
the water at a speed probably great
er than 528 miles an hour was to
disintegrate the V-l and give the
necessary impetus to the torpedo to
continue on through the water until
it reached a certain position, when
the time fuse would automatically
set off.
But the Nazi suicide squad never
got into action. Even the technical
development was not fully complete
when the war ended, to say nothing
of production that would have put
the weapon into action.
Reitsch lays the failure to get the
project into operation, as well as
all other failures of German air
power, to Goering. She says “that
the spirit with which Goering had
infused the Luftwaffe was detrimen
tal to our project was well known
to all of us. We needed strong lead
ership, tempered with an idealism
that matched our own. Most of all
we needed a leader who saw the
present military situation (March,
1944) in the same degree of precari
ousness as we ourselves saw it."
Hanna Reitsch
Hanna Reitsch describes her
self as follows: Five feet,
inches tall, weighs about 109
pounds, has blonde hair with a
“permanent,” blue eyes, white
teeth and a small round face with
a scar down the center of her
nose, a well-proportioned figure,
33 years old, and not considered
beautiful.
She was a test pilot of German
military aircraft and flew the V-l
“buzz bomb” plane. She holds
records for flying gliders and oth
er types of planes. But more than
that, she was in the bunker un
der the Reichschancellery with
Hitler and his entourage during
the last days of Berlin and was
slated to be a participant in the
mass suicide plan worked out by
Hitler to be put into effect when
the Russians reached the bunker.
However, in the early morning
hours of April 30, 1945, the
Fuehrer ordered her and Lt. Gen.
Ritter von Greim, who had suc
ceeded Goering as head of the
Luftwaffe, to leave to accomplish
two missions. One was to get
Luftwaffe help to Berlin. The oth
er was to prevent Heinrich Himm
ler, whom Hitler had just heard
had contacted the Allies to make
peace terms, from succeeding
him as Fuehrer. Reitsch was Von
Greim's personal pilot.
As far as is known at this time,
Hanna Reitsch flew the last plane
out of Berlin before it capitulated.
Because of the conditions of the
besieged city at the time, she says
it is fantastic for anyone to be
lieve that another plane could
have safely spirited Hitler out so
that he might be living today.
Himmler Plotted to Kill Hitler and Trade his Body
To Allies for Personal Safety, Colonel Testifies
During the last days of the Nazi
regime, when allied armies were
closing in on Berlin from all sides,
the terror-stricken members of the
high command tried to save them
selves by sacrificing their associ
ates. Heinrich Himmler, grim chief
of the dread gestapo, sought to mur
der Adolf Hitler and sell his body
to the Allies as the price of peace
suid personal safety, according to
new lniormauon aiscioseo vy dih
lsh intelligence experts.
The British stress that Colonel von
Buelow's story remains uncon
firmed from other sources.
According to Colonel von Buelow,
Himmler and his SS officers in the
Reichschancellery bunker during
the last days before Berlin’s fall
plotted Hitler’s murder, but it is
not known whether any attempt was
made to carry it out.
Colonel von Buelow said that
Himmler’s negotiations with the Al
lies had been discovered definitely
on April 28, and that it had been
then that Hitler had suspected Herr
Fegelein was connected with the
plot.
A faithful SS officer was sent out
to search for him. He was found
In his flat and brought back to the
bunker by the SS officer. Finally,
on Hitler's orders, he was taken out
and probably executed, Colonel von
Buelow said.
