Germans Concentrating Troops in Balkans Amid War Rumors
In a London briefing, a British expert says Germany has massed about 70 army divisions in southeastern Europe, a force near 1,250,000 troops. The expert argues these builds signal fear of Soviet action and aim to deter any Soviet interference as Germany strengthens its Balkans offensive. Meanwhile in Washington, Senators Wheeler and Johnson urge President Roosevelt to seek an armistice in Europe to avoid U.S. entry into the war. They assert peace is the only sure path to keep America out of conflict.
