Another German Drive Into Russia Believed Impossible
United Press war analyst Louis F Keemle argues Hitler’s defeat in Russia makes a third German push into the Soviet Union unlikely. The southern front near Ukraine and the Caucasus could fall, forcing a German withdrawal to Dnieper defenses as Russians push into Poland and possibly Reich territories. An Allied invasion of Europe may follow a victory in Africa, potentially this year or next.
