CougarGA7, quoting: "The Japanese are taking the opportunity to establish themselves in Indochina, but in contrast they are only lukewarm about the hoped-for attack on Russia!
Neither one nor the other surprises me." - Field Marshall Bock

Again we see evidence that German leaders understood the strategic importance of Japan attacking Russia.
But they seem to have made little, if any, efforts to nudge the Japanese in that direction.
