Jobs for 1943. If Adolf Hitler had plans for winning victory in 1943, he did not detail them. But the day after he spoke, vague outlines of his first steps could be seen. He reshuffled Germany's diplomatic representation in three important countries. To neutral Stockholm, whence Germany in the past sent out peace feelers, went Hans Thomsen, the steady, approachable, onetime Charge d'Affaires in Washington. To Spain, whose Mediterranean coastline confronts the Allies in North Africa, went Hans Adolf von Moltke, German Ambassador to Poland when that country was invaded. To Japan, replacing the tried & trusted militarist General Eugen Ott, went an economist, young Heinrich Stahmer.
Hitler might say, as he had said before:
"We shall again come forward, exerting all our strength"; but this year he seemed also to have other things in mind.
*Inspiration for the "1918" campaign, as in the case of the "V" campaign, came from BBC's stirrer-up of the occupied people, Colonel Britton.
