Western Blow Would Be Axis Catastrophe
(.Rec. Noon) LONDON. July 25. A blow against Germany by the Allies would coincide with a tremendous blow from the east and transform the present Fascist crisis into a catastrophe, declared the Soviet commentator on international affairs (M. Viktorov) broadcasting on Moscow radio. Pie added that the Germans’ July offensive against Russia on which the enemy placed such great hopes, was based on real total mobilisation of the very last reserves and resources of Germany. Every German is asking himself, in view of concentration on the Russian front, what will happen when the second front is opened in Europe. Hitler at present is fighting on one front. His hopes all centre on the possibility of holding out while there is no second front in Western Europe which would require the transfer of considerable forces. Oply joint blows from east and west can put an end to his hopes.
