Mhat is as far as one need carry the argument. Tt may be that Hitler by now has won his war, but it is not something that one can predicate on the mere basis of his blitz tempo. The Allies, by | their own confession, are in greater danger than they but it is not because lever were in the last war, they are confronting an enemy speed with which there has hitherto been no comparison, In 1914, three weeks after the declaration of war, 11 days after the first great clash of the armies, the Ger- mans thought they had the war won, They began shipping army divisions from France to the Rus-| sian front. It was the defeat of Poland in 18 days last Sep- tember that brought blitzkrieg to the fore, with its| hurtling bombing planes, its high-speed tanks, its “steel fingers” slashing and ripping through the| enemy. But in the older style, Germany would prob-| ably have beaten Poland in approximately the same 18’ days. In 1866 Prussia overwhelmed Austria in 15 days. In 1870 the Germans overwhelmed France and took Napoleon III prisoner in 32 days.
