peace could have been made
appears to be gone.
Neither the Allies nor Germany
can make peace and save its face,
so the world has almost no chance
to see peace again until one side
is victorious, in a bloody war. The

British plana along the same line,
pointing out that the British had
20 years of opportunity after the
World war to carry out such plans,
but never got around to it. The
English aren't very enthusiastic
about the Nazi plan.
