Massive German Force Massed Near Soviet Borders
The article notes a large German troop buildup near the Soviet frontier with three possible outcomes: a blitz against Russia to topple Stalin, a Russo German collaboration pact to secure wheat and oil and allow moves toward Iran and Iraq, or a feint to mask an invasion of Britain.
