Map of Europe and label "Invasion." Westbrook Van Voorhis leading a panel discussion about the problems arising from the Allied invasion of Europe in World War 2. He introduces panelists: Hanson Baldwin (military editor of the New York Times) Dewitt MacKenzie (Associated Press military analyst), and Paul Schubert (of Mutual Radio Network). He asks Mr. Baldwin about the importance of aerial bombing campaigns. Baldwin also stresses importance of a land invasion of Europe. Relief map of Europe highlighting major German cities. Asked about the merit of invading Italy on the way to Germany, Mr. Schubert cites the problem of the Alps and suggests other more effective invasion routes. Van Voorhis asks Mr. MacKenzie about best route into fortress Germany. He considers the criterion of ease of supply as most important, and suggests the Atlantic coast, near a good port and not far from England. Animated map shows this idea. When asked about this, Mr. Baldwin agrees completely, calling the conflict "a quartermaster's war." He adds, "The problem of victory is the problem of supply."
