...mean complete German control of military and civilian defenses. Germans realize that successful completion of the Allied invasion of North Africa (see p. 34), if followed by an invasion of Italy, would allow bombers to blast German war plants now out of reach of Britain-based planes. The arc of the Alps could be bypassed by land troops without danger of an Italian flank attack along the historic Balkan route to Germany's back door. Along part of that route Yugoslav partisans last week had a new fighting front...
...attack started from the south, Soviet troops north of Stalingrad also launched an assault, moving in a great arc toward Serafimovich. Their purpose was to swing west and south, meet the southern columns and close a ring around the Germans (see map). From Serafimovich prongs spread out like the curving tines of a peasant's pitchfork. From the southern force, moving along the Stalingrad-Novorossiisk railway, prongs also curved off.

The Chinese case, however, was best presented, not by statistics, banquets and banners in the streets, but by 4,000,000 troops fanned out in a 2,000-and-more-mile protective arc against 500,000 well-equipped Japanese. Therefore Willkie was taken to the front...
