Annotation by Frank Hughes and Lloyd Wendt: Possibility of invasion of South America by Nazis very remote--not slightest fear. German air force would have to travel 7,900 miles to Georgetown. North Atlantic route 3,300 miles. We couldn't be driven out of Newfoundland. Greatest catastrophes come to nations embarking on distant military adventures.

Subject assigned by Frank Hughes and Lloyd Wendt: Military history -- World War II
