the other two combined to
cover the 4.o0O-mjle coastIrno

IF HITLER has read his
history books carefully he will
lose no time IN rushing this
south wall.
In World War !, the fate Of
the German war machine was
sealed by the first crack Of its
armor in the South.
First Bulgaria, then Turkey
--Germany's allies in that
were overrun by Allied
invasion forces in September
and October of 1918.
Field Marshal Won Luden-
dorf later admitted that this
disaster more than anything
else upset German strategy
and FASTENED the end Of
Kaiser Wilhelms dreams Of
world conquest.
EVEN IF Hitler is able 10
swing enough troops and
weapons into line 10 man his
newly endangered southern
flank before IN invasion is
launched there by the Allied
forces, he will find himself
in the position Of a prisoner
inside his fortified walls
