have been wondering how it is
possible for a representative of

The military men are unani-

require a million men and eight

latter Germany is long way
from commanding. Successful
invasion means capturing and
taking over the military and
civil authority of the nation, and
that is not done from the air or
by telephone. It is done only in

conflict.
