- Tällöin Suomi joutuisi tilanteeseen, jossa auttajaa koskeva valinta olisi tehtävä Skyllan ja Kharybdiksen [Natsi-Saksa ja Neuvostoliitto] välillä. Kumpikin vaihtoehto olisi vaarallinen.
- Then Finland would end up in a situation in which the choice concerning source of help should be made between Scylla and Charybdis [Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union]. Both options would be dangerous.
