THE AIR WAR
MOST DANGEROUS FACTOR London, Jan. 2. A diplomatic authority in Berlin, summarising the war in 1943, told neutral correspondents that the air war is at present the most dangerous factor for Germany, says the Gazette de Lausanne. Air raids in 1943 had an enormous effect on the industrial potential and the economic organisation, and on the people’s morale. The paper says that German diplomatic circles believe The Allied air offensive will lead Io a decision unless the Germans soon take counter-action. The Battle of Stalingrad changed the course of the war. The opening of lhe Mediterranean front did not produce the consequences Berlin feared, and the balance in south Italy is regarded as favourable. The majority of Gernans still refuse to admit that defeat is inevitable, and continue to hope for a compromise peace.
