On Aug. 31, 1944, Adolf Hitler spoke his mind to a group of German generals al his secret headquarters. According to a stenographic transcript found last week in the resort town of Wiesbaden, Hitler said:

"This war is no convenience to me. For five years I've been shut off from the other world. I've not visited the theater, I've not heard a concert, and I've not seen a film.

"I live only for a single mission, to lead this battle because I know if there is not iron will power behind it, the battle will not be won.

"I blame the General Staff because they, instead of always exhibiting iron will, have weakened the front officers, for when General Staff officers come to the front they spread pessimism."
