...fleets could blow his to bits and their armies might overrun northern Italy. If he stuck it out in the other direction, he would have his other transalpine neighbor, Adolf Hitler, to deal with. And so, while the Italian press explained that Italy would remain neutral indefinitely, Mussolini lay low...

Another explanation might be that from Germany's nearest points to England and the Channel she was planning an air war on British shipping, to back up her submarine attacks on Britain's food supply. But Allied and neutral apprehensions inclined toward the explanation denied by Dr. Goebbels. From near Aachen the great German juggernaut started rolling 25 years ago. Transit of the Lowlands has always been the basic principle of German war to the west. Nature made it so long...
...wider arc through Luxembourg into the dense Ardennes forest, cross the Meuse and the Aisne northwest of the Crown Prince's Army, and sweep south toward Châlons. Other concentric arcs were mapped for the Third and Second Armies under Generals Hausen and Buülow, respectively, who jumped off from between Aachen and Trier.

Low, A.C.G.I., M.I.A.E., F.C.S., F.I.P.I., F.R.A., F.R.G.S., F.G.S., D.Sc., Ph.D., F. Inst. Arb. to retaliate. Professor Low is a British television pioneer and jack-of-all-science who worked for the British Government in the last war, invented a wireless control gear for torpedoes. After some scientific snickers at death rays and bacteriological bombs, Professor Low growled: "Whether Hitler has any horrors or not to produce at the moment...
