PLAYING OUT
THE STRING

All the world knows the German inva-
sion of Russia was Hitler's very own. He
was responsible at the start and now the
world is watching him get out of the diff
ficulty. That his military leaders have
stuck to the losing task is something of
wonder. For it universally is the con-
clusion that had real military men drawn
up nazi strategy a different story would
have been written. And missing, no
doubt, would have been the chapter on
Russia.
When Stalingrad blew up under Hit
ler's nose and he lost some of his crack
divisions, he boasted that it was better
to lose one division in order to save two.
That was his strategy-alibi and he has
had to add to it now and then since Stall
ingrad He is about to add another this
time an alibi will make Stalingrad look
like a practice bit of warfare. tie Is
about to lose all that is left of his armies
in Russia, at least south of Kiev down to
the Black sea-
From the moment the Reds crossed the
Dnieper on until they had slashed
through Kiev, Hitler was doomed in Rus
sia, but evidently he could not lay hands
on any one division for sacrifice IN order
10 save two others. And as result OF
has refusal to surrender field leadership
to military men, soon he will not have
esen the one division to sacrifice.
sIt has taken longer and cost more, but
Hitler, with all his military prepared
ness and with his almost ineXhaustble
supply of men and materiel has done
poorer job of invading Russia than did
Napoleon.
gUnless Stain elects to stop for
breathing spell when he reaches his des-
tined point in Poland, Hitler may have
no choice as to where he will set up his
border defense line on the east. Some
military observers see Stain going on
straight ahead for Berlin. Others think
not. All agree that if Stain decides to
push on Hitler hasn't seen anything
vet in meeting Russian onslaughts. Stall
in .hates the reich war leaders down to
tie last man. 1t would be safe guess
that he wants to be the one to grab Hit
lea. and the rest and put them to bloody
end To do that means going on to Ber-
lin.
The most momentous phase of Russia's
part in this war is about to be unfolded.
In the meantime Stain has made 1t
clear that he intends to establish his
boundary in Poland. And that he IN
tends to see that he has an outlet on the
Black sea- The allied nations as we'll as
Germany have something to think about,
