...This question does not turn on General Mihailovich alone. There is also a very large body, amounting perhaps to 200,000 Serbian peasant property owners, who are anti-German but strongly Serbian. . . . They are not as enthusiastic in regard to Communism as some of those in Croatia and Slovenia. Marshal Tito has largely sunk his Communistic aspect in his character as a Yugoslav patriotic leader. He has repeatedly proclaimed that he has no intention of reversing [Serbia's] property and social systems . . . but these facts are not accepted yet by the other side...
...Seed. A powerful minority of the 2,500,000 Slovaks has long given the impression that they are all devoutly Catholic, anti-German, anti-Czech, antiCommunist, preeminently pro-Slovak. Their hilly land (14,484 sq. mi.) had been a part of Hungary for 1,011 years when, in 1918, the Versailles peacemakers joined Slovakia to Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, and created Czechoslovakia.

Only one thing seems certain: they will soon have Russian rule, autonomously or otherwise...

The German command knows well the dangers implicit in these airline distances from the Eastern front: to the Ploesti oil fields, 530 miles; to the old Polish frontier, 95 miles; to Germany proper, 475 miles...
...slated for a bigger role. Hungarian sources reported that Premier Filoff had hurried to a Berchtesgaden session with Adolf Hitler; he may also have seen his old acquaintance, Reich Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. No one doubted that he would get Gestapo support to suppress Bulgaria's underground, anti-German, patriotic front. What the Führer needed above all was more manpower, more help from Bulgaria's Army to guard against a possible Turkish thrust and to stiffen Italian garrisons in Greece...
