Mechaniza- tion has been accompaniied by a surprising develop- ment of initiative and ‘ndividualism among front-line fighters. Hand-to-hand conflict is still there. The physically and emotionally tough soldier has not been superseded by a button-presser who wears glasses and is familiar with higher mathcmatics. The Nazis may take the credit, if that is what it is, for introducing cave-man tactics. They seem to have thought that personal ferocity was a gift of the gods bestowed only on young men of the dictatorial nations. They are now discovering that there is no quite so tough as a citizen of a democratic country | when he is sufficiently aroused. The Commando methods are not pleasant to read about and probably not pleasant to practice.. They | do seem, however, to be the only kind of argument that most Nazis understand. Ahd they will be dr.s-‘ carded when the war has been won. In that respect the democracies may be, from the Nazi point of view, soft.
