land successes. A crisis of this nature would impose such an added strain on the security forces that their control of the whole internal situation would probably be rendered precarious. It is possible that the launching of "Braddock II" at this juncture, when it would be used most extensively by both Germans and foreign workers, would just tip the scale and help to break the grip of the security forces decisively. CONCLUSION 5.
