Winston Churchill to W. Averell Harriman, November 27, 1941
Germany went to war with the Soviet
Union on June 22, 1941, easing the pressure on the British
and giving them renewed hope. In October 1941, Averell Harriman
noted Churchill's opinion that "Hitler's
revised plan undoubtedly is now, Poland '39, France '40,
Russia '41, England '42, '43 (?)--maybe America." Late
in November, Churchill acknowledged the heavy demands made
by the Soviets for American supplies but also asked for
Harriman's assistance in providing him with additional
ammunition. Churchill's postscript reads, "The razor
is a joy diurnal," a reference to a gift received
from Harriman.
