There is no longer even the slightest doubt but that the Wil- helmstrasse was completely sur- prised by the' Vichy upheaval.

As the German-Italian' onward rush continued, they contended, Laval seemed very useful in paving the way toward a French-German peace.

The Greek commander-in-chief, Gen. Alexander Papagos, had ine formed his fighting men in a gen=- eral order that "your blows have placed him (the enemy) in a very difficult position.
