Churchill describes the war’s progress in North-West Africa, a springboard to further offensive action, following conferences with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in June 1942 in Washington and January 1943 in Casablanca. Erwin Rommel has been repulsed by Generals Alexander and Montgomery and Tunisia conquered. Following a further conference in Washington in May 1943, Sicily was captured in 38 days.

Churchill had also spoken to Stalin in Moscow. Russian armies have advanced 1,600 miles of the front.

Map showing changes to the frontline on the eastern front.

An ever increasing Anglo-American control of the air and expansion of Air Forces. Increased RAF air operations were increasingly accurate with reduced losses. A systemic destruction of German war production was taking place, which was diverting Germany from offensive capabilities.

Germany was likely to retaliate with new methods and weapons and Churchill would keep the House informed of how this would be addressed.
