German dubiousness about how

between MusSolini. his son-in- la

and German Foreign Minister Won
Ribbentrop-all dead now.
A German Foreign Office memo

from captured Nazi files, was pub

Musolini, according to the memo
randum, expressed concern that
Russia and Spain were missing from

England, and said that 1T seemed
to him advantageous if a policy of
collaboration with Russia could be
carried out"
Ribbentrop was noncOmmittal

tipping off Mussolini to the plans
for actually invading Russia. He
was quoted as saying Hitler Ger

that personally he did not believe
that Stain would undertake any
thing against Germany"
Ribbentrop did drop a hint of
what was to come three weeks later
by saying Hitler had become dis
trustful" because of some "obscuri-
ties on the Russian 'side" and had
prepared for all eventualities.
As for Japan, Ribbentrop was sure
that she would honor her treaty
obligations and sooner or later

German and Italian anxiety to keep
