London May 5 A group of Adolf Hitler's generals led by Field Marshal Walther von Brauchitsch was reported to have told a trusted source they would propose an alternative plan to Germany if the 1942 campaign in Russia fails.

Madagascar seizure reshapes Allied strategy in war
In a broad analysis, Millain argues that seizing Madagascar shifts Allied posture in the war. The move, aimed at safeguarding India sea routes and the Cape Passage, could provide a springboard to eject Japan from the Indian Ocean. Diego Suarez would become a pivotal naval and air hub, threatening Japanese operations toward the Bay of Bengal.
