Meantime, while terrorism in Germany is increasing its range of
action, we in England are being threatened with "V2," and so forth, in the familiar German " turn-of-the-screw " methods, one wonders whether there are many Germans who realise the political conse- quences of their employment of "Vt." Obviously the range and destructive power of pilotless aircraft are capable of almost indefinite extension, and a new factor is thereby introduced into the post-war problem of the permanent disarming of Germany. It is no less obvious that Germany is placed geographically in an extremely un- favourable position with regard to this new weapon. A defensive arc formed by Great Britain, France, Scandinavia and the Low Countries could hold over the greater part of German territory a threat far more severe than any previous instrument of war.
