Then: "But our enemies do not know the German people." Predicts Counterstrokes "Because we know the aims of our enemies and we know the fate that awaits us if we lose this war, we are fighting for our Fatherland, for the survival of the Gorman people, for our culture and for our prosperity." In a New Year's order of the day to the German army Hitler declared that in the coming year Germany would break the Allies with counterstrokes. He blamed his military reverses on the desertion of Germany by her Allies.

Reichmarshal Hermann Goer- ing in an order of the day to the battered German air force said Germany had "new squadrons in the air" and added that the Reich's air arm "will show in the future that it can fight with its customary force and determination."

Ghost Voice Interrupts The broadcast was broken frequently by an incoherent ghost voice. The German radio said Hitler spoke "from his headquarters." There was some speculation in London that it have SHOULD Frlc Fairfield Toll In Conflict Reaches World Total Fifty-seven Lancaster and Fairfield-co servicemen gave their lives in combat with the enemy in training for service abroad during 1944, and this actual figure brought the over-all war death toll since Pearl Harbor to 80, the cost Fairfield-co paid in Jives in World War I. The death count of the last war for this county probably has been exceeded, since a half-dozen men listed as missing for six and eight months, will be reported later by the government as dead. Since D-Day in France last June 6, Fairfield-co has lost practically 40 men in action of the campaigns in Europe and the Pacific. The sacrifice of lives on the battlefront seemed to dominate the local headlines of news in 1944.

More than 175 of the 208 wounded Fairfielders listed thus far suffered their injuries during the 'Allied campaigns of 1944; a half-dozen of these men were wounded at least twice during the past 12 months. Of the 57 service deaths in 1944, 50 were from combat with the enemy, seven in training accidents or from disease. Nineteen infantrymen were killed in France; seven others in Germany, and 10 in Italy. Three Marines lost 'their lives last year on Saipan, Cape Gloucester and Pelileu. Air Force personnel losses abroad among Fairfielders numbered 10 in the past year.

At least five sailors were killed in combat engagements with the enemy at sea. As of December 31, the total deaths were 65 in action and 15 in training or from other causes. Twenty-siven others were still listed as missing; 18 were prisoners of war. GRATITUDE IN GRANITE PLYMOUTH, Eng.
