War Special: Turkiye Pact Dampens Some British Fears
The 10 year non aggression pact between Germany and Turkey is viewed as easing British concern in one area while potentially raising it in others. The agreement would keep German and Turkish forces apart and suggests Turkish territory may be kept closed to Axis attack, though British faith in Hitler remains limited. The piece analyzes Cyprus as a strategic hinge, arguing Turkish bases are crucial for any eastern Mediterranean offensive and that without Cyprus or southern Turkish bases, German plans to threaten Egypt via Cyprus are substantially hampered.
