This Changing World
BIitz Tactics Fall Into Disrepute as War
Returns to Tedious Strategy Of Position

enaple MN 10 take forces from
one point to another without
much delay. OF course, the pres
ent air supremacy OF American
British aviation in Western Eu-
rope will give us the initial ad-
vantage, since we will be able to
disrupt his lines of communica-
ton in the area chosen for
attack.
Experience has shown us, how
ever, that, unless the Nazis have
lost the bulk of their aviation
and production capacity. they
can bring enough fighters to off,
set our advantage. They cannot
do this for a long time If they
are compelled to fight on two
fronts.
Ever since the outbreak of the
war the Germans have sought to
avoid the repetition of their mis-
takes of 1914-1918, when the
Central Powers had to fight on
two fronts. Hitler's general staff
intended to finish the war in the
west before it turned to other
fronts.
From all available information,
the chief reason he decided to
attack Russia in the summer of
194l was that he was convinced
that as soon as he became heavily
engaged in amphibious opera
tions against the British Isles,
the Russians would turn on him.
The necessary. landing barges
were not available in the summer
and fall of 1910, for large e-scale
operation against Britain re-
quired at least 100000 men.
Hitler had not expected the
French to collapse SO quickly.
Hitler Wasn't Ready.
Preparations to pour 1,0O0,0 900
men across any stretch of water
even one Of 80 miles-required
tremendous preparations. And
Hitler was not quite ready for it.
When. in the spring Of 1941.
the high command thought it
could recognize signs that the
Russians were getting ready for
an operation, the strategy was
changed and the attack on Rus
sia decided.
Our own State Department in
formed the then Russian Am
bassador to Washington, Con-
stantin Oumansky, of this fact;
Hitler miscalculated the strength
OF his enemy and the pulveriza-
ton of the Red Army failed.
Now. for the first time since
1899, he is actually faced with a
war on two fronts, If the Allies
decide to strike at Western Eu-
rope this summer. 1t may be
assumed that Hitler hopes fer
vently that we won't strike; that
the heavy toll which we shall
have to pay for such a daring
operation will deter the Allied
high command from taking the
expensive but short cut through
Western Europe.
There is no question that the
Germans are fortified superbly in
that area. But a bold action with
the "mostest" of men in West
ern Europe would place before
the Fuehrer and his command
ing officers a problem they des-
perately have tried to avoid;
war on the eastern and the
western fronts at the same time,
against enemies with a far SUI
perior potential In men and
material.
