I’m continually amazed at what an excellent writer Hanson Baldwin is. Although obviously pro-Brit he doesn’t seem to allow this to stop him from telling the hard truths that the Allies in Greece are doomed. I remember his excellent stories on the Vietnam War where he was virtually the only columnist on the Times who tried to tell people that things were not as bad over there as some of his colleagues made out.

Prolific, too.

"[The British] have . . . forced the Germans to fight for their victories and have perhaps delayed by two week Adolf Hitler's Spring time-table of conquest."

This is a point that will be made endlessly post-Barbarossa. This may be the first instance of it being made before the fact. In the press, anyway.
