Abstract

The Iceland Salient
Kiralfy, Alexander | July 19, 1941 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on the grounds for Axis displeasure which are that an increased garrison in Iceland will eliminate the possibility of a Nazi seizure of the island, and that American warships, operating from its ports, will lighten the strain of convoy now burdening the Royal Navy. But it is a hidden factor that has probably shocked the militaristic powers most-the realization that a great democracy has trespassed upon a sound military doctrine hitherto reserved as a secret monopoly by the autocracies of the world. Since military movements are an extremely practical matter, the advancing of a hemispheric defensive arm to Iceland was motivated by the preceding apparent reasons.
