It is surprising that at the talks in London both sides used the phrase “if war begins”
instead of “if Germany attacks.” In other words, those talking did not exclude the possibility
that the war would start not with German aggression, but in some other way. It is interest-
ing that at the talks in London, the USSR was listed first: “if a war between the USSR and
Germany occurs.” e same words were used in the TASS announcement: “rumors of im-
minent war between the USSR and Germany.” Why not say the opposite, between Germany
and the USSR, if one supposes that Germany will be the aggressor?
