	Chapter III: BRITISH-AMERICAN PLANS
		The British representatives made it very plain that Singapore was none the less important to their government as a symbol of British ability and determination to protect the British Dominions and colonies and the overseas trade with them and with other countries in the Orient.
		British military mission in Washington would consist of three members-a flag officer of the British Navy, a general officer of the British Army, and an officer of the Royal Air Force-with a joint planning staff, a Navy staff, an Army staff, an Air staff, and a secretariat.
		Army, planes and ammunition especially, was being diverted to the British, and to the Navy and Marine Corps.

	Chapter XI: The Victory Program
		The Victory Program army's conjectured composition item by item, however, was far from the actual composition of the 1945 Army- a conspicuous variation being from the conjectured total of 215 divisions, including 61 armored, which compared with the ultimate 91 divisions, of which 16 were armored.
		The 10 airborne and 10 mountain divisions contemplated in 1941 shrank to 5 and 1 respectively in the actual Army: this decrease was determined in the one case by practical considerations of training and in the other by a known (and relatively nonmountainous) as distinguished from an unknown terrain.
		I feel that in the matter of Army forces the Navy should accept the Army studies to the extent that we accept the Navy statement of requirements, recognizing that the Navy is the expert so far as naval matters are concerned.

	North Africa
		Second, the British were gaining momentum, and Hitler thought it important to stop the British before they could pull more troops off of the Russian front.
		These reasons were good reasons for the British to be in North Africa, but Churchill found it much more difficult to persuade his new allies in the U.S., who entered the war on December 7, 1941, to support such a campaign.
		The British argued that the allies would be unable to muster a large enough force before 1943 to be effective in Europe.

	GI -- World War II Commemoration
		The British agreed not only with the concept but also with a War Department proposal, code named Bolero, for a great buildup of American forces in Britain, with approximately 1 million men to be equipped and trained to carry out air operations in 1942 and a major invasion of the Continent in 1943.
		Even then the armies were powerless to cross the Roer, for a series of dams on its upper reaches remained in German hands and might be blown to flood the valley and trap any force which had moved east of the river.
		Army Group B in the center, preoccupied with the Remagen bridgehead, was in no position to stop a major attack to break out of the bridgehead.

	WWII General I
		After examining the state of the U.S. Army during the 1940-1943 period, Bellanger focuses on 1943-45, and examines each of the division's sub-units - from the divisional HQ to an infantry battalion, from the divisional artillery to its combat engineer element.
		The author attacks the widely held belief that WWII was the "good war", the war in which America led the forces of democracy and freedom to victory over Germany and Japan.
		He argues that the role of the USA in WWII was determined not by idealism, but by the interests of America's corporations and by the country's social, economic, and political leaders.
