Adolf Hitler declared war against Russia for two reasons. One was strategic (see p. 22), the other domestic. As the new campaign began Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler submitted a report on Communist espionage and sabotage, designed to convince Germans and the world that Germany's internal troubles were inspired by Moscow. Truth was that, although Moscow doubtless did stir up some unrest, Germany was rumbling with spontaneous discontent. From one of TIME'S correspondents, until recently in Germany, came these facts...

The German populace is a rigidly disciplined civilian army and its officers intend to keep it so until their country's final triumph is assured...
...Correspondent Whitaker thinks, "even that much common sense has been destroyed by the daily pricking of Goebbels' poisoned pens and the careful preparation of Himmler's black books. . . . Italy, in short, is German, and its public must be prepared for Hitler's declaration of war ... if America begins to make aid to Britain decisive by convoying armaments directly to British ports...
