Britons got a vivid, close-up description of Adolf Hitler as he appeared to a recent visitor-nervous as a thwarted cat, biting his fingernails, drinking quantities of sweet champagne. Cedric Salter, Istanbul correspondent of the London Daily Express, wrote that he got the description from an unnamed participant in recent conferences to which the Führer had summoned four satellites (King Boris of Bulgaria, Admiral Nicholas Horthy of Hungary, Marshal Ion Antonescu of Rumania and Croat Puppet Ante Pavelich).

...this part of the account did not indicate any great change. Hitler has been chewing his fingernails for years. In a photograph published recently in a German magazine, he looked fit and happier than the wounded soldiers with whom he was shaking hands (see cut).

The past few months have been good ones largely because U-boats cannot operate efficiently in midwinter seas, and spring is apt to make Allied ships and hearts sink fast. The past few months have also seen vast extensions of Allied military lines, and campaigns of spring and summer are apt to stretch them farther yet. New construction...
