By KIRKE L. SIMPSON, Associated Press War Analyst

_Tllerc is no rift in the war clouds gathering over Germany as the ilrl ...*./:s season draws near.

IAIN! people of lire besieged Reich could sec nothing but purtcnls oi‘ l coming foilil defeat in the battle frollt news. Only in the inter-Allied policy and political discards could they find c. ray of hope that the rc- sistance their Nazi masters have decreed for them might conceivably will for them something less than unconditional nurrender.

That hope probably is as illusory as the reliance the Germans placed in robot bombs in turn the tide of defeat. Whatever the divergence of views between London. Moscow and Washington as lo ad interim (real.- mcnt of liberated or half-liberated nations in Europe or as to post war European boundaries or peace plans, big three unity in military notion against the common foe still is the dominating factor on European battle fronts.

_ That was patent 1n the events that have brought elements of six Alllcd armies in the west on to German sail from lilo Kilrlsrulle corner on the central Rhine to the Arnhem gateway in Holland. It was clear- ly demonstrated, too. in the Russian sweep through Hungary to clutch closely at doomed Budapest and threaten Vienna.
