Just adding this to the GGG catalog, not sending a general distribution.

Thus ended the Phony War period. The Germans couldn't cross the Channel, hadn't prepared for it, hadn't had time to prepare, and Hitler showed little interest, planning to reach an agreement and treaty with the UK. Even had Churchill been so inclined, I doubt anyone could have taken Hitler at his word about any agreement, particularly the following year when Operation Barbarossa began, ending the Nonaggression Pact between the USSR and the Third Reich.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

Stalin fully expected Hitler to break the pact...just not while Germany was still at war with Britain.
