Summary/Abstract: In late 1943, the Allies were on a roll. Italy no longer carried weight as Germany’s principal European partner, and the Allies built up Joseph Broz-Tito’s ragtag bands of communist outlaws to the point that they challenged German control over a sizeable chunk of prewar Yugoslavia. The Americans looked to Hungary as their next target in breaching the ramparts of Hitler’s vaunted Fortress Europe. Direct and businesslike, they demanded that the Hungarians start delivering intelligence data immediately and turn against Germany as soon as possible.
