Title A name given to the resource Crise en Allemagne French language propaganda news sheet Description An account of the resource Le Courrier de l’Air No. 38, 1941 The main article mocks Hitler’s claim that he will follow his intuition to lead the armed forces. It suggests that he dismissed Field Marshal von Brauchitsch, and other military commanders, as a scapegoat following the difficulties in the Russian arena. Ignoring the advice of von Brachitsch and his chief of staff, the troops were spread too thinly and many lost their lives. Churchill and his delegation have arrived in Washington on 22 December 1941 for a conference to co-ordinate the allies’ actions. A parallel consultation is taking place in Moscow and Chungking where the British, American, Russian, Chinese and Dutch governments are looking at a joint programme. The importance of a global strategy and co-ordination in all theatres of war is stressed. The Russians are advancing and making the German army’s lives very difficult. They hold the initiative along the eastern front and are pushing the Germans to the west. Only Crimea has seen a German offensive, but they have experienced heavy losses. In other directions, the Germans are retreating leaving large quantities of equipment. Communication between Leningrad and Moscow has been re-established. German tanks are in retreat in the central section with few options for spending the winter. Germany has reported a typhoid epidemic in the Baltics. It is suggested that German soldiers returning from Russia may have been the cause. Édouard Corniglion-Molinier, commander of the Free French “Lorraine” squadron, notes how their first sortie destroyed around 50 German tanks with pinpoint accuracy. Speaking to journalists in Washington, Churchill explains that Singapore will be defended until the situation allows the allies to go on the offensive. German-Italian forces have retreated from Benghazi to the gulf of Sidra in Libya and had heavy losses inflicted by the RAF. General Auchinleck’s advance is much quicker than that of General Wavell. A mobile unit has occupied an aerodrome in Tripolitania. The article tries to second guess what Hitler’s response will be. According to Virginio Gayda in Rome, Italy’s fate depends on the battle of Libya. This item was sent to the IBCC Digital Archive already in digital form. No better quality copies are available.
