Germany and NaZi-held Europe will feel American bombing strength in two or three months Elmer w. Peterson, NEG correspondent Just back from Q year and a half in London, predicts.
 HO believes that soon after the bombings reach their top intensity and the invasion gets under way Germany's fighting spirit will be broken and the Nazis will be out of the war by the end of the year.

Equipment, not manpower, will be the German army's final problem.
