Tomahawks, though | more have been sent in the last day or two). Yet the British knew that pro- longed Russian resistance was the biggest chance they had of dereat-; ing Hitler. They also knew that Hitler's tactic always has been to pick his victims one by one, never to attack when he had to fight two countries at once. Yet realizing this, the Bnusm have done virtually the same thing Poland did when Czechoslovakia was invaded, what Jugoslavia did when Bulgaria was invaded, and what Turkey did when Jugoslavia' was invaded. They have merely! sat on the sidelines, sent 200 air- planes, plus a mission to Moscow, taken a good long rest and (-heered SECOND FIONT AGAINST | HITLER?
