Now, the point which it is de-
sired to make in this that in
the battle of Flanders, involving
the British and Nazi armies, «ll
the elements which Clausewitz
prescribes as absolute certainties

for bringing about the destruction
of a retreating enemy were, inthe
vernacular, presented to the Nazis
on a silver platter.

In the first place, the Nazi had
overwhelming superiority in num-
ber, in tanks, artillery and every-
thing else.

In the second place, they had
crashed right round the southern
flank of the British and had swung
up behind them via Abbeville,
Boulogne and Cala
In the third place, thanks to the
quislingism of King Leopold, the
northern flank of the British was
simply in the air; and the Nazis
had practically an open road to
Dunkerque. Not €ntirely open.
There did happen to be a few
British soldiers in that neighbor-
hood. And thereby hangs # tale.
The Nazis gave the B.E.F. no
rest (a la Clausewitz) and kept
smashing at them night and day
with everything they had
They had overwhelming supet
iority in the air.

In fact, if Clausewitz had been
reporting the action he would have
quit before the show was over,
with the conviction that the British
Expeditionary Force was utterly
and irretrievably destroyed.

And by all the laws of war—if
there are any such things—the B.
E.F. ought to have been destroyed.
But it wasn’t. It wasn’t destroyed
for the reason that the British
soldiers were infinitely better sol-
diers than the Nazis They were
braver, more skilful fighters. And
they fought back.

That was the whole story. They
fought back. And they trimmed
the Nazis even when the latter
had évery conceivable military el-

|ement in their favour.

The Nazis could not lose the

gap at Dunkerque. because three
battalions of the Rifle Brigade
held two of their panzer divisions
at Calais. There was nothing left
of the old 60th Foot (The Royal
Americans) when things were all
over. But 335,000 of their com-
rades had made their gateway,
which was what the Rifle Brigade
sacrificed themselves to bring
about.
The B.E.F. fought the Nazis to
a standstill in spite of losing all
their equipment. And from the
immortal story of Dunkerque one
establishes another principle that
Clausewitz never thought of. It
is this:

The Nazis are hum-dingers at
defeating people who are beaten
before the battle begins; but when
they run up against soldiers who
will give them a real fight, the
“supermen” are simply not in the
picture.

And so, the much-tooted Nazi

failure to do
every favourable
factor postulated by Clausewitz
for the total destruction of a re-
treating enemy’ was present,
neither Hitler nor his generals can
feel particulirly happy about this
exposure of Germany’s “invincible
might.”

What it all adds up to is that
even when everything a soldier
can think of is thrown in to weight
the scales on his side, the Nazi
still lacks something: He still lacks
that particular something essential
to gain victories over an enemy
that is disposed to face up to him,

The Germun soldiers of the
Great War had the same failing;

*cons@yuently one is forced to the

conclusion that that weakness is
simply inherent in the German
system and in the German make-
up.

When Germany’s* enemy, in due
course, provides himself with the
numbers of free and freedom-lov-
ing men, and the material neces-
sary to place him on anything like
an even footing with the German,
the picture will be vastly changed.
The outlook for Germany will in-
deed be blacker than it has ever
been in all the truculent, swagger-
ing, trouble-making history of the
Teuton.

THE COUNTER-WEAPON

A survey of the foregoing leads
us to only one conclusion, and
that is that this war is as differ-
ent from any previous war as
night is from day. Armed conflict
plays a subordinate role. The real
arm of aggression on the Nazi
side is the propaganda division of
the “Fifth Column.”

Our own services have been or-
ganized and are being opérated in
anticipation of a war that would
follow a course along orthodox
lines. The King’s ships oppose
the Nazi navy—what there is of
it. The Royal Air Force success-
fully combats the Nazi airmen.
The armies of the Empire are our
weapon against the Nazi goose-
steppers.

But what of our weapon tocom-
bat this other new and most start-
lingly effective Nazi arm — the
“Fifth Column?" One must ac-
knowledge frankly that this, which
undoubtedly is the “secret weapon”
whereof the Nazis have boasted,
has found us totally unprepared;
and, due to the nature of its op-
erations as already outlined inthe
early portion of this article, ithas
made tremendous headway. It has
won for the Nazis victories which

THIRD ESCAPE WORKED

Kazimierz Rebalski, Polish pilot
who fought in»Poland and France,
has reached this continent on a
freighter after escaping from a Ru-
manian internment camp and out-
witting Vichy government men at
Casablanca. He shot down three
Nazis in Poland, was interned in
Rumania, escaped on the third at-
tempt and fought in France, then
had to escape again. He hopes to
go back to fight with a Polish
R.AF. squadron.
