Our aim, there- fore, is annihilation until capitula- tion. until a knockout.” “Everything beyond that—as Von Reichenau (Gen. Walther von Reichenau, commanding a group of | German armies on the western front) is fond of saying—can only | be revealed at the autopsy. | “It is useless to discuss the future while you are fighting in the pres- ent.” This authorized spokesman said[; all questions concerning war or| aims will be answered cat- egorically in the same manner.
