The new Russian attitude is best illustrated by Stalin's recent reference to the Allies' "considerable contribution" toward a Soviet victory. Sharply contrasting is an article by Nazi Propaganda Minister Goebbels in Das Reich, sarcastically, to belaboring invade the Western Allies Europe and blurting out that "among the German people there's greater anxiety that invasion might not come than that it will come." Goebbels does not explain why the Nazis are afraid the invasion won't come except to refer vaguely to the tremendous defensive preparations completed around the periphery of Europe, to high morale of the defenders of the Atlantic Wall and a mysterious array of secret weapons ready to go into action the moment the Allies start an invasion. He fails to mention that while the ramparts are solidly built and the defensive machinery of the Atlantic Wall ready and the defenders alert, Nazi Europe gradually and remorselessly is being plowed up behind the backs of the Nazi soldiers guarding the periphery. The urgent need in their situation is a quick opportunity to an enemy and inrepel, disastrous casualties in hope the Allies will call off the siege and go home.
