George B. de Huszar, political scientist, told Woodlawn South Shore Kiwanis at Southmoor hotel that Hitler blundered twice by underestimating British morale after France and the strength of the Russian army. He said Britain's morale rose, Churchill replaced Chamberlain, unity grew, and U S aid loomed, enabling Britain to defend and potentially strike back.
