HITLER BEHIND NAPOLEON’S TIMETABLE
LONDON. September 15. The Moscow radio recalled that at the beginning of the 13th week of the German-Russian‘'war was marked the 129th anniversary of Napoleon's march into Moscow. Napoleon’s timetable from the day he invaded Russia until he reached Moscow was 83 days. Eighty-five days after following Napoleon’s path. Hitler was still 200 miles from Moscow. The announcer proceeded: “Adolf Hitler, you miserable ape of Napoleon, how do you like Moscow? Have you seen the Kremlin yet? Napoleon reached the Kremlin, but what he saw there was the writing on the wall that spelled disaster. “Hitler, you megalomaniac, you will never see the Kremlin. Like a mad dog you have thrown yourself on the Russians. Like a mad dog you will be exterminated."
