So the Nazis and the Nips are pulling off an average of more than one act of sabotage a day. Looks like the FBI is fairly ineffective.
And with Churchill having already sold out the Poles, it looks like the Yugoslavs are next on the list.

Sure, the Germans had to know we would invade sometime. Especially with the build up of troops in the UK. But for us to openingly talk about it and even announce who the commander is going to be is just too much information. The more we talk about it, the Germans would have to know the closer it is getting to be. TMI
