Back 1 hem up i the German, all- jwwer and you have an idea of what would be thrown at Britain in Ihc first invasion hours. FOLLOW 'BLOCKADE If such a force landed and made the landing the war in the west might be over. Some persons believe that failure of an invasion effort, would turn the tide of war. .1 earno away from Germany convinced that an invasion of England would be undertaken only after the most complete blockade aerial preparation rather thaii risk failure on the British coust the whole invasion strategy would be postponed, even until next year. But Hitler by Inference and Foreign Minister Joachim von Rih- iK'iitrop directly have promised Germany victory this year.

The expectation of Ihe German people, therefore, creates some degree of pressure upon Hitler to make the Nazi them' 1 conic; true. Its title is: "We Sail Against England." 1 wa.s told repeatedly by Germans that there were many plans for an invasion of Great Britain and that when the time came, Hitler would say which awl when. LANDINGS IN IKKLA.XO Onj plan WILS outlined by an early Nazi military prophet on a wale which would require troop landingK in Kire and Ulster as well a.s directly -on the British coa.st. That plan was drawn by Professor Kwald Ba.li.sc who was named Professor Military Science at Brmuswick Technical College PS soon an Hitler, came to power. His book "Space ami a People in Hie World War," was banned by the Nazis coincident with it.s publication in Great Britain, ami he wa.s removed from his professorial chair.

The German version of the incident is that the book was banned and therefore wa.s repudiated. I know that an American reporter---not connected with the United Press--wrote some months ago a story based on Bansc's book and it.s outline of the strategy of an Jrish invasion. That wa.s never got out of Germany. the book were not a public document easily obtainable in any big library, 1 would not fenl free to refer to it here because the question of Ireland's relationship to the war i.s of major concern to both belligerents. I A I I Mansn's theory wa.s a a nation a could hrmcile the British fleet could a in force on the and eastern const of Great Britain it ml, a.s a secondary strategy, base in Eire a landing force which would move from i against.

COME IN OWN TIME Listening to my radio in Berlin --there is no prohibition against foreigners tuning in enemy stations--I often heard the British broadcast challenge to Germany to come on over and the German reply that they would come in their own Lime. "Good night everybody," the British Broadcasting Company announcer would say. "Good night everybody. There is clear weather over the channel this evening-- jusl in case anyone would care to pay UK a call." A few minutes later William Joyce--Lord Haw Haw--would be on the air ridiculing the "British habit of setting dates for the invasion and then celebrating failure of the invasion to corne off." "Germany still holds the initiative," Haw Haw would remind his listeners.

"And Germany will dictate the development of the war against Britain and when the invasion shall take place." PANTRY SHELF BAKED GOODS SALE TOMORROW AT FIRST METHODIST CHURCH --Adv.
