		Italien beendete im Juni den Zustand der "Nichtkriegführung", Spanien bot seinen Kriegseintritt auf deutscher Seite an, und auch Japan knüpfte in der Außenpolitik engere Beziehungen zum Reich.
		Mai, dem Tag des Kriegsbeginns im Westen, von Winston Churchill, einem erklärten Gegner der britischen Appeasement-Politik, geführte Großbritannien lehnte jedoch nach wie vor die ihm von Hitler zugedachte Rolle eines "Juniorpartners" entschieden ab.

	Lone Sentry: The German Volkssturm (U.S. WWII Intelligence Bulletin, February 1945)
		The creation of the Volkssturm serves a double purpose, as far as the Nazi Party is concerned: first, to strengthen the defense of the Reich, and, second, to keep a large part of the population so thoroughly under military control that any incipient revolt against the Party will have a hard time thriving.
		Despite the fact that the Volkssturm is inducting by age classes, an appeal for "volunteers" is being conducted in the usual Nazi manner.
		Volkssturm elements were used in combat near Metz, but the poor showing that they made must be attributed primarily to the fact that they had only recently been mustered and that most of their brief time in the militia had been spent in digging fortifications.
