concentration of German military forces in West against the island of England by preparation for
the attack operations by air and by sea from the Dutch, Belgian and
French coasts and portions of those countries against
     ports and munitions centers on English soil and from the defensive positions in western
     and northern Germany. Besides, the military forces for an intensive campaign in the
     eastern Mediterrean area can be released by fall. Other situations, as for example that
     concerning Spain, including Gibraltar, could be settled by arms before then, within the
     framework of the present general situation.
     Political schemes of England and the U.S.A. are considered unimportant; proclamations of
landings on the continent of Europe asd military jests. The consolidation of Germany's military
power position is going on and is considered unshakeable in the corps of leaders. The laying of
the foundation of the economicexistance of conquered Europe is expected in the course of this or
next year, with the voluntary or compulsory inclusion of Russian supplies and productive forces.
     From this standpoint, 1941 means the definitive decision, because the Ameriacn-British
economic boycott xan not break the newly distributed and employed powers of Europe. This
boycott will collapse of itself, because the "new order" in Europe is held together by military
force.
