undeclared war on Poland. Mud and lack of bridges will, it is felt, seri-1 has already crashed deep into Polish territory from the south.
Russia has been "reported mobilizing." Italy has announced she will take
"no military measures." Fm big moves against Germany came with
orders to Britain's fleet . (1) Skagerrak blocked. (2) Hamburg, Cux
haTen and Kiel Canal blocked. (3) North Sea bottled. (4 and 6) Com

blockade. (7) Transport route of French troops through Africa against
Italy. (8 and 8) French naval blockade. (10) British guard Suez and
plan for sending troops through (11) backdoor route into Poland.

England and France over Germany to Poland. This map shows at a

Here's how observers believe the allies and the axis powers would fight it out in the event of war.
Strong British and French fleets, probable disposition of which is shown on the map, would be aa
. important factor. The axis is given an outside chance of offsetting allied naval strength If It could
; produce an effective aerial bombardment of allied men-of-war. On land, probable lines of attack
jare indicated. Germany's Siegfried line and France's Maginot line would be expected to stalemate
each other, and Polish resistance on the east likely would take attention of the German army for six
. ; months oft more, expert say. With an Invasion of northern Italy, France and Britain might draw
aotne German troops away from eastern and western fronts a major way of helping Poland, in addi
ction .to "shuttle bombing" of German objectives.

Should Italy (A) continue her neutrality, British forces from India and
Egypt may be shunted from heavy guardianship over the Suez Canal (B)
around Turkey (D) the question mark in European power politics, and
through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles. The troops would then ba
touted over the all important rail at Constanta through Rumania (C),i
then into Poland. On the other side, French troops would be relieved at
the Franco-Italian border (E) for fighting at Franco-German frontier:
(F). Plan of attack calls for British bombers to shuttle across Germany
to Poland from London (G) and France (H) to shuttle-bomb Germany,
from airports near Paris.
