Britain and America have enough tonnage and fighting forces to land at some given point in Europe but they could not take Germany by surprise* The British thesis that Germany can be overpowered by air power alone is entirely groundless. Germany would welcome an invasion attempt which may well be the prelude to a decisive stage of the war. The British are over rating the success of their air war and underrating Germany’s effort and success under total war.—P.A. INSTRUCTIONS TO FRENCH RAILWAYMEN London, June 24.
