SUBJECT: US Military Strategy in Europe and Book Review of
Operation Barbarossa
1. I enjoyed reading your speech on US military strategy in Europe.
2. I also enjoyed reading the book review of Operation Barbarossa.
Have you ever read Walter Kerr's book on the secret of Stalingrad? It came
out about ten years ago and spells out how Stalin sucked in and surrounded
the Germans by having ten reserve armies which he kept secret from everyone-
the enemy, his allies, even his own generals.
