morale of the German forces. It
restricts mobility and the possibility
of concentrating large masses for
operational purposes. 1t is charac-
istic of this position warfare that
its negative effects operate almost
exclusively to Germany's disadvan-
tage.
If this is the case, it is an i'm
portant factor in helping us to
form an opinion of Hitler's plans,
and the plans which he could still
evolve with some prospect of sue
cess. 1t would signify that his power
of initiative is very limited. Per-
haps he will lose it altogether and
be forced to resort to defensive
strategy. 1t might signify that, de-
spite greater Germanys immense
reserves OF manpower, she is no
longer in a position to mobilize
sufficient forces for several simul-
taneous operations or for certain
enterprises. There are, indeed, GER
tain strategic tasks which cannot be
carried out by armies consisting
mainly of armored divisions, motor
lied units and aircraft.
A New YardStick.
This fact gives us a new criterion
for an estimation of the remainder
Of the operations which National
Socialism threatens to undertake.
It can make it easier for us to
distinguish between bluff and genu-
inc intentions.
For example, is Hitler still in a
position to effect military occupa-
ton of unoccupied France and at
the same time dispatch sufficient
troops to save Italy from collapse,
initiate an offensive against Turkey
and Greece and yet keep In reserve
