...more than he could do, what with the German problem coming up, the Polish problem unsettled, the known shortage of qualified personnel in the U.S.S.R.'s foreign services. Certainly Stalin did not attach as much importance to the world conference as Churchill and Roosevelt did, or the Marshal would have let nothing stand in the way of Molotov's joining Eden and Stettinius at San Francisco. This week London dispatches reported that Eden might attend briefly, and perhaps not at all. In its mood of international depression last week, Washington uneasily wondered whether Stalin could be right-whether...
Completely encircled in the industrial Ruhr-Germany's last important source of coal, power and war machines-were some 100,000 troops of Field Marshal Walter Model's Army Group B.

His drive swung up into the cathedral town of Münster, and was reported this week hightailing northward less than 75 miles from Bremen...
When World War I seemed lost, it was the "Welsh wizard" with the glib tongue and unwavering eye who patched up Britain's faith in victory. He smoothly talked the reluctant British High Command into accepting the leadership of "simple, honorable, absolutely fearless" Marshal Foch. An architect of the Versailles Treaty and the League of Nations (both of which he was accused of bungling), he lived to see both curl up in the flames of World...
