HITLER’S NEXT MOVE
OCCUPATION OF WHOLE OF FRANCE ATTACK ON BRITAIN TO BE ABANDONED FORCED ALLIANCE WITH SPAIN Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright NEW 7 YORK, September 27. The ‘ Herald Tribune ’ says that a responsible European Government has informed its Embassy at Washington that Germany will soon abandon the attack on Britain in favour of the occupation of the remainder of France preparatory to an attempt to take Gibraltar and bottle up the (Royal Navy.
The Germans have concentrated 26 divisions at Bordeaux and Biarritz. Hitler desires a diversion to cover the failure of the battle for Britain and also to force Spain into an alliance. This scheme favours Britain insofar as it will free the French colonies from loyalty to Vichy. The State Department has noted the synchronisation of the offensive movements in Europe and the Far East.
