More proof Hitler and Stalin were socialist allies against the west. Love the part about how the Red army warned England and France not to widen the war. This should be requred reading in every history class that simply lists Russia as part of the “allies” in WW2.

I like the map of the where the French expect the German blow to fall. Note that the Ardennes are not part of their expectations.

Good to see that Belgium is well defended. That should prevent an invasion through there.

From the Manifesto, which curiously was reprinted in The Times in its essential entirety:

"Defend every inch of your rights and your achievements."

Sounds like excellent advice for the American constitutionalists and conservatives.
