Is It Over? (November 1941)

Stalin, Moscow
November 22 1941

The situation in the Western Front has reached its peril.22 German divisions have broken into Kiln, north of Moscow. They are within 20 miles of Moscow. I'm not so sure we can hold Moscow now. I telephoned Zhukov and demanded an honest opinion on the matter, a communist opinion. As much as it seems that everything is over, Zhukov states that we will hold Moscow. He has requested for no less than two armies and two hundred tanks. His confidence is what I'm depending on now.

Stalin, Moscow.
