What he said in his cold, precise voice was as simple as it was devastating. Instead of the $3,768,000,000 of revenue estimated last April, the Government would need no less than $8,000,000,000 for the first year of its war against Adolf Hitler...
...Duce still had one good card in his hand. If he could persuade Adolf Hitler to give up a sizable chunk of Poland for a buffer state, and present this offer to Britain and France as Germany's concession for peace, he still had a chance-though a long one-of becoming the Peacemaker of Europe, and of taking as his commission therefor some Mediterranean and African concessions. With some such proposition Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano flew to Berlin to see Adolf Hitler this week. Abruptly-after barely 24 hours and only one talk with Herr Hitler...
With the fall of Warsaw ancient and historic "Holy Poland" was again without a capital (see p. 32).

The Führer may or may not have realized before what his chumming up with the Bolsheviks might cost him in the Baltic sphere, as well as in the Balkans, but he saw every reason...
Baltic Pact. J. Stalin received A. Hitler's envoy at the Kremlin just five hours after he reached Moscow. Herr von Ribbentrop left a ballet performance of Swan Lake to go to the Dictator at 11 p. m. and they talked until 4 130 a. m. Seemingly this German intervention made no difference in the terms meted out to Estonia and signed two days later by Foreign Minister Selter & delegation...
