Gruenther Warns of Co Extermination Threat
Gen Alfred Gruenther, supreme allied commander in Europe, warned of a potential era of co extermination between the West and Soviet Russia but believed a strong American air force could deter an all out war. He spoke in Denver after meeting with President Eisenhower, saying the Russians could overrun Europe if they acted soon but that in three to four years they would not be able to match U S counter measures, and stressed unity to prevent Soviet gains. He described Malenkov as tougher ideologically and noted American impatience in foreign policy, while outlining steps to defend Western Europe including a future German armed force and U S supplied atomic weapons to deter Moscow.
