Can Hitler Stop War
The column by Dew weighs the idea of Hitler ending the fighting and examines the futility of hope for peace through such leadership. It reflects on the broader prospects for an end to the conflict and the implications for civilians and nations alike.
Would Hitler back out of the war under favorable terms
The author argues Hitler would like to quit if he could dominate Europe, but cannot unless defeated or gains are secured. A separate peace with the Soviet Union is rumored, followed by terms with Britain that would favor Germany, restoring sovereignty to Norway and the Netherlands while annexing others to the Reich. The Nazi leader remains powerful but risks defeat and a shifting balance as air power wanes.
