1, 1943 (Saturday)
There
is nothing sensational in the reports from the Occupied
Territories. The only thing noteworthy is exceptionally sharp
fighting in Warsaw between our Police, and in part even the
Wehrmacht, and the Jewish rebels. The Jews have actually
succeeded in putting the ghetto in a condition to defend
itself. Some very hard battles are taking place there, which
have gone so far that the Jewish top leadership publishes
daily military reports. Of course this jest will probably not
last long. But it shows what one can expect of the Jews if
they have arms. Unfortunately they also have some good German
weapons in part, particularly machine-guns. Heaven only knows
how they got hold of them.
