Nazi Propaganda Outlets Urge Invasion Talk From London
Berlin broadcasts claim political motives push invasion of Southern England earlier than military logic would permit. They cite growing American and British reinforcements in Southern England, increased shipping, and air attacks aimed at weakening German defenses as justification. Reports note rising U S troop presence in London with parachutist boots and airman uniforms seen in crowds. The Hungarian radio cited a Magyarseg editor predicting Allied superiority and imminent invasion of Europe.
