GERMANS’ LAST GAMBLE
MUST NOT BE GIVEN TIME LONDON, Sept. 27 Elastic defence and shortening of fronts constitute Germany’s last gamble, says the Swedish journalist Gunnar Pihl in an article in the Daily Telegraph. The * writer, who left Germany last month, says that Germany is still immensely strong, but it is just as dangerous for the Allies to over-estimate as to under-esti-mate that strength. Germany time to carry out Germany needs time to carry out her retreats and to stabilise her position and she may then look round for a political settlement before being overwhelmed by military defeat. It is essential that she should not be given time to carry through these plans. “Remember always,” he says, “that the psychological weakness of the German armed forces is they are sub-consciously convinced of approaching defeat.”
