Hitler had already negotiated the controversial neutrality pac with Russia and had that protection against interference with his plans in the east. In the west, the French were entrenched behind the "im pregnable" Maginotline and thought they were tale no matter what hap pened. Poland, weak and isolated, with a large army that was composed mostly of cavalry regiments and foot soldiers, was no match for the lightning-like thrusts of the mech anized divisions that Hitler sent into battle. The Poles, cut off from any possible aid from Great Britain and France, were doomed. Less than a month of fighting was all that the Germans needed to capture the country. The "blitzkrieg" had won the first of its many battles. By October, the Germans could now turn their attention to Franca, crouched behind its walls of fortifi cations and oblivious to the threat of conquest from around the ends of the Maginot line. Occupation of Norway. Hut before he could deal with fiance, Hitler had to attend to the pos.uble threats from the north, where Great Britain might have been able to land troops in Norway or Sweden and sweep down on 'an i nipi '(.iteclcd llauk. Therefore, the Germans occupied Denmark and I hen Norw ay, beating dow n the feeble resistance that, those peace loving countries v. pre able to mar shal. It whs all so ridiculously easy. !'' M,ay, 1940, the battle plans of the Germans were set and the "blitzkrieg'' moved again this time si l iking the Netherlands and Bel gium in quick succession, moving on to France, and just missing the lirilish army of occupation at. Dun kirk. Hitler's divisions attacked from all directions, his tanks and panzers blasting everything in their path after the Luftwaffe had pre pared the way by blasting the en emy's airdromes and defenses. Heavy and medium bombers ranged behind the front lines, where dive bombers "pin-pointed" the targets into destruction. Tanks roared through the holes cut. in the enemy lilies and then fanned out be hind the front lines, cutting commu nications, and blasting strong points that were only meant to stop in fantry and which couldn't stand up against cannon-bearing mechanical monsters. First Phase Ends. Then the infantry followed the tanks, but it was motorized infantry that covered 50 to 60 miles a day and consolidated the tank's gains be fore the disorganized foot troops facing them could be rallied. Fresh waves of infantry followed and an nihilated all resistance and set up a Nazi government in the conquered territory. In less time than it took to conquer Poland, tlie Germans had swept everything in northern Europe before them. The first phase of the war was over. RAF Stalls Nazis; Britain 'Holds On' After France Falls The jubilant Nazi government thought that with the fall of France, Cireat Britain would sue for peace and the short, cheap war that had been so carefully planned would be over. But Winston Churchill had become prime minister of Britain. Germany had gained the support of Italy through tlie famous "stab in the back" when the Italians de clared war on France just in. time to Refin on the kill. -With that aid in the south, and the fact that a British army had just escaped anni hilation. Hitler could not be blamed for thinking England would ask for peace. I But Hitler did not reckon on Churchill. Here was a leader who won his people not with glib prom ises and fair speech, but with the promise of nothing but "blood, sweat and tears" and told them bluntly to get ready to defend their homeland "in the streets, and on the beaches" and in the heart of their big cities against the invasion that was sure to come from the continent. Night after night, in monotonous regularity, the big German bombers took off from dozens of fields in France and Germany and thundered across to England, blasting ports and naval bases, industrial centers and London in the vain attempt to bring "that nation of shopkeepers" to its knees. It was the supreme effort. But it was thwarted by tlie gallant efforts of the Royal Air force in a battle against the most terrific odds any armed force could possibly face. The RAF was short of planes, of ammunition, of pilots, of bombs in short, it was short of everything except the indomitable courage of baby-faced youngsters and middle aged oldsters who took to the air night after night to shoot down an incredible number of German planes and convince Hitler that the cost of an aerial Invasion was too high and that he would never win the war from the air. y Carrot Tops Carrots with no tops stay crisp longer than those that have the leaves left on.
