November 5, 1940
11/5/1940, F.D.R. & Willkie Both predict Victory on Eve of Election, Roosevelt Going for Unprecedented Third Term
11/5/1940, Britain's Minister for Economic Warfare (Mr. Foot) Outlines Hitler's New Order for Europe
11/5/1940, British Public Keen to Learn Truth About Middle East, Will There Be Another Dunkerque?
Note: The British retreated to Dunkerque in May 1940 when the Germans launched a diversionary Blitzkrieg in Holland, Belgium, and Northern France. ... In a hurry to get to Paris before the French could consolidate their defenses, Hitler later launched his main offensive in central France, bypassing the British Dunkerque pocket, the mopping up of which would have required several weeks. The British Expeditionary Force was successfully evacuated from Continental Europe while the Germans concentrated on defeating France. ... Hitler was more worried about Stalin grabbing chunks of Eastern Europe if Germany got bogged down on the Western Front. He considered the British only a minor nuisance at the time.

Re: November 5, 1940
It's not well known that Willkie was an interventionist and became a traveling troubleshooter for FDR after he lost the election.
I used to live 7 miles from the town he was raised in, Elwood, Indiana.

11/5/1940, Italians Bog Down in Greece, Bulgarian Officials Believe Germans Marshalling Troops in Rumania for Attack on Greece
Note: Hitler was also interested in temporarily blocking Stalin from seizing a land bridge to the Dardanelles Straits. Stalin hoped to eventually gain control of the Straits while Hitler was tied up with Great Britain. Meanwhile, Hitler hinted to the Soviets he was only interested in the Dardanelles as a means of blocking their mutual enemy Britain from entering the Black Sea.

Re: November 5, 1940
You should consider making all this hard work more generally available.
