fact that we cannot get sufficient
pressure. and when this is multi
piled by the number Of units we
have, it amounts to considerable
waste of time, both for the trucks
and crews.
We have presented these facts to
the War Production Board and they

ably have fortified heavily. The one
sizable gap in the chain occurs Just
where the big German rivers. Weser
and Elbe. empty into the North Sea.
and up their estuaries lie the great
German ports Of Bremen and Ham
burg. But this approach to the
Reich Is stoppered by the island Of
Helgoland, Z German Gibraltar
whose long-range guns pretty well
sweep the waters on either side Of It.
Reduction Of some Of those island
bulwarks would be q necessary pre-
requisite to mainland landings at any
vital point. Yet the Allied margin
Of sea power is now so great that the
Job could presumably be done with
out excessive sacrifices.
Whether such operations actually
impend Is. Of course. a moot point.
But their feasibility is fairly OBJ
vious, and Admiral Burroughs point
ed remarks should, at least, give the
German high command an addition

New Landings in Europe?

That the tottering Reich, already
exposed to massive land attacks
from both east and west, may soon
have to face a seaborne invasion is
indicated by press interview Just
given at Supreme Allied Headuuar-
tiers by Admiral Sir Harold Bur-
rough. newly appointed naval COM
mander in chief under General
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The admiral pointed out to his
journalistic listeners that "the
coasts of Germany and the remain
der Of Western Europe still occupied
by the enemy offer an opportunity
for the use of sea power, such as the
assault on Walcheren Island, which
turned the key to the port of Ant
werp." And he went on to disclose
that vigorous though small-scale
amphibious operations were actually
going on to clear the Germans from
the remaining islands OF the Rhine
delta which block access to the
Dutch port of Rotterdam.
A glance at the map will reveal
both the possibilities and difficulties
In sea-borne operations against the
coasts OF Nazi-occupied Europe. In
any such survey, Norway should be
logically excluded, because its liberia
ton, though useful to the Allies in
many respects, would not entail q
major threat to the Reich itself. The
potential zone of large Allied
landings embraces the stretch OF
North Sea coast from Holland to
Denmark. With It's sinuosities. this
coastal zone has a length of about
800 miles. That offers considerable
range OF choice for Allied strategy.
against which the Germans must
mount guard with their rapidly di-
minishing resources Of manpower
and equipment, including aerial de-
tense. Experience In France, Italy
and the Pacific proves that large
scale invasions can be made on open
beaches by special landing craft and
can be maintained through the
elaborate "triphibious" technique
which Allied strategy and tactics
have evolved. It should be fufther
understood that such landings on the
North Sea coasts would offer rela-
lively few natural difficulties, be-
