High Nazis Hint at World Conquest as Bloc Aims
Grandiose plans for a three power bloc dominated by Germany in Europe, Japan in Eastern Asia, and Russia in India and Afghanistan were hinted by Nazis as Hitler spoke at Danzig. The report notes gains on the eastern front with Warsaw and Lwow besieged, Red Army advances into Vilna, and Polish troops captured. In the west, German attacks east of the Saar were repelled by French forces with Siegfried Line forts strengthened. The Polish government seeks reestablishment in London or Paris as fugitives form a legion with the Allies.
