HUSS I. N. S. stall Correspondent. BERCHTESGADEN, June mystery deaths in Adolf Hitler's merciless regime come back inlo the limelight.

According to my i a the LufUvall'e's ace general, Hans Jeschonnek, and German air expert, Celonei General Ernst Udet, shot themselves after affronts from Hitler. The otticial Berlin announcement issued in 1941 stating next day by Ihe deadly attack which wiped out practically all the laboratories and was an almost irreparable blow to the Reich's war research. "I remember," said Goernnert. "How the Luftwaffe start members debated how to break the bad news to Goering who was sure tu raise hell Goering certainly die: blow his top. He cursed Jeschon- nok and everyone else.

Next day we got a message that Jcschonnel: had shot himself. At the samr time Goering received orders took his when an ifriated Hitler saddled him with the blame- for the terrific success of two American Fortress raids on Peenemuende. The raids laid waste to acres the Ketch's key laboratories cradling numerous inventions, particularly V-wcap- ons, resulting in months of delay on this work. The rise and -fall of Jeschonnek is a striking illustration ol how the whims, fancies, and sudden temper of Hitler dominated thc Reich's best military minds, making or breaking them overnight. Goernnert had access to sheaves ol records.

Hitler took a liking to Jeschonnek and in 1943 appointed him as the Luftwaffe's chief ot staff. In those days. Hitler's headquarters were at Wolf- East Prussia, out ol harm's way. Goering's command was maintained about 20 miles away at Rominter Heide, where he utilized the former imperial hunting lodge and his own personal 'rain. The Luftwaffe's under Jeschonnek Goernnert related that afte raid Hitler had summoned chormek and in a furious directly accused him of neglU in thc Pcencmuedc defense Jes- ent come to Hitler's command am when we got there the atmos- that Udet had died testing a new phere was still plenty sour." German weapon was a bare-faced lie, nor was the announcement about Jeschonnek much the truth, The statement issued about death said had died ns a result of a "stomach hemorrhage" but failed tc add ihat this had been caused by self- inflicted bullet wounds.

According to Fritz Goernnert, who managed Heichsmarshal Hermann "VVilhelm Goering's private headquarters a i Joschonnck urea.

After this scene, Goernnert sc: there was no choice except Jeschonnek to take his own in keeping i the 1 13ut vain code of honor. Goernnert declared Jcschonn died unhonorcd Hitler denied the funeral, raving that too many ol 1 fenders were evading responsible- ity by quick suicide.

Milch expressed the opinion, for instance, that while Udet is adept at presenting 'beautiful 10 miles from Wolfschnnze in thc vicinity of Goldap. The open rift between Hitler and Goering was then still in the formative stage. The fat boy liked lc play soldier by visiting various ironts where he bestowed numc.rous decorations in gala pa- grains," they never resulted his rades instead of staying headquarters attending to business. Goernnert told me: "It was during such absences that Goering's enemies at Hitler's head- quartt-rs did their work. They did everything possible to cause difTorcnces between Hitler and Goering and I heard Goering frequently make pointed remarks to that effect, I don't know whether Jeschonnek a a joineU the anti-Goering crowd but at least Goering took it that way." Ono Jeschonnek lo quarters from Wolfschanze and had Jeschonnek establish himself in new barracks on the grounds.

"This placed Jeschonnek right under Hitler's thumb," said Goern- nert "and in eftect it was the fuehrer's first open to take personal control of thu Luftwaffe. From thnt day on Hitler muscled Goering out, step by step, to a point where Hitler issued his own direct orders to the Luftwaffe. Goenng, I remember, was very bitter, and he also assumed that Jeschonnek was being disloyal to him. Three months later came the first of the long-expected air raids on Pcenemuende, the day, Goernnert ordered move his hcad- Goldan close to anything concrete. Although, Goering knew this be untrue, a basis for Mitch's allegations was provided wlvn Hitler suddenly demanded to know what had happened to his order that high-flying long-d stance heavy bomber be constructed.

However, said Goern- nert, nobody seemed to recall such an order, and the buck was pushed to Udet. The Prussian career officers in Luftwaffe, who regarded Udet as an upstart, also were aligned i Milch against Udet. The showdown came in August, 1941, when Hitler began to shout again, demanding information about his high-flying bomber, Goering then yielded to Milch by officially giving him Udet's job as boss of the Luftwaffe's construction and production. When Udet, upset by ihis change and regarding it as a demotion for him, began to and became moody, Goering into a deer at vited Udet Romiatcr.

Udet's death was an entirely different circumstance, however, and for him Hitler ordered a state ceremony while Goering professed deep shock and even went so as to state he regretted he had treated Udet so shabbily the years before. According to Goernnert, Udel's nemesis was the Luftwaffe's Stale Secretary Field Marshal Milch who actually outranked General Udet but who was jealous of the fact that Goering always Home From Pacific.
