THE OTHER EXD OF THE STICK
r, hiMiir nnmi news that is coming' out ol
Europe these days encourage the belief tnat the Germans .
are themselves experiencing somewhat the sort of punish

and French and British nearly five years ap. It must he!

There are differences, of course, which must be remem- i
bered in comparing the war of invasion fought in 1940 with ;
the war of invasion being fought in 1945. The one which isj
now going on is far vaster, far more devastating. e believe i
that it will be conclusive. The fact that it is going on is suf-;
ficient proof that the invasion of 1940 wa-i inconclusive. The
invasion of today is the penetration of a country well-pre- j
tn nwir and recel invasion. Holland. Belgium, France;
and the Eritish army which assisted them were ill-prepared.
This nha.se of the war which is turning the tables so com
pletely stemmed from no blitz attack. The tactical prepara- j
tion for entrance dwarfs the German preparation by com
parison. Multiple fanes of defense, which would have been?
quite impregnable to such an offensive as the Germans!
launched in 1940, have been neutralized one by one through!
the greater Dart of the year. No mere strafing ahead of ad-:
vancing tanks by unopposed stukas sufficed to speed the as
sault. The war industry and the transportation oi a nation
were not disintegrated by any such methods- They were,
literally battered to pieces through many months of nearly
ceaseless bombardment from the skies. The nazis had usedj
hundreds of tons of explosives; the allies used thousands of:
tons to ruin the resources of a country destined for conquest j
and to destroy it defenses. j
When this phase of the war was well advanced, and only
when it was well advanced, could the break-through be ef-j
fected. Once it was effected, the forward surge of armies has!
accelerated greatly, but at what cost or in the face of what
resistance the censorship does not permit us to know. We may i
guess at one further point of dissimilarity, however, between .,,, . . . H, n-h
