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."
