WASTINGTON BY RAY TUCKER SPEEDUP
Adolf Fitler for another Winter of war signals in confidential memos show he expects no 1941 victory. His Russian offensive aims to replenish food and oil supplies, reroots factories for efficient weapons, moves plants inland for safety, builds submarines, and lays out new airfields along the French and Belgian coasts. These steps require months, with blind optimism about a 1940 triumph and a U.S. defense push. British counter-preparations worry analysts as relations near breaking, with Winter warfare forecasts noting bomber field availability controls air force effectiveness.
