...When did the Nazis perfect this remarkable striking force which gave them the victory in June? In the five months before January 30 'when Germany slept.' In the four months before May when Hitler 'was missing the bus.' As for Britain we had 900,000 unemployed and at Christmas some of the aircraft works shut for the week.

By the end of the third quarter, the game had become an undignified rout. At the end of the last quarter, it was a massacre...
...Nazi legions strike into The Netherlands that the 1941 U. S. supply of laboratory cover glass (for microscope slides essential to public-health officers and medical researchers) was captured.
