Rundstedt's biggest problem is how to concentrate his forces-particularly his Panzer forces with their heavy firepower-at any section of a 700-mile coastline, any day, any night. He has three Panzer divisions, and that is not enough to cover the entire coast against a major attack anywhere. But Panzers have mobility, and Rundstedt has placed them where they can use it. One of them is probably stationed near Rennes, for a quick dash up the roads to any threatened point in the Brest-St.-Malo-Cherbourg sector. Another is stationed near Amiens, has the Havre-Dieppe...

The Germans, who once scorned weight and mass for the lighter, faster Panzer technique, had now gone whole hog for mass. So had other armies.

...devils and beasts in a cave high above Homer's wine-dark sea. Then came Euthemius and Joseph, who sought eternal bliss by moving about on their hands and knees eating grass. All this was centuries after Xerxes' legions invaded Greece, and, of course, centuries before Nazi Panzer divisions...
Breadbasket. After the German Panzer divisions romped across the Ukraine, millions of Russians would have starved had not the Soviet Union previously converted Siberia into a second breadbasket. Through scientific farming, peasants are now growing wheat as far north as the 67th degree. In the Novosibirsk area, one of the richest in Siberia, cultivated acreage jumped from 3,500,000 in 1913 to over 10,000,000 in 1933. On each of the 6,000 collective farms in this region there is an average of three dairies, with 8.5 head of livestock per family...
...whatever in regard to the War; as an alternative it offered a faculty censor to blue-pencil every item slated to appear. The off-shoot was a farcical situation in which the Daily began living in a vacuum, apparently oblivious of such things as Defense Stamps, War Production Boards, Panzer Divisions, and Japanese...
