observation
points picture great nazi reserves
being rushed to the southern
Ukraine and the Crimea for that
purpose, i
Assuming that the German
attack on Russia was a crusade
for. oil, not against communism.
there is every reason to credit
these reports. A nail penetra
tion of the Caucasus which cot
off Russian oil supplies would
cripple the red armies, perhaps
expose them to that "annihila
tion". Hitler has promised his
people this year.
" Yet some well informed ob
servers on this side of the Atlantic
view Hitler's promised annihila
tion campaign against Russia as an
admission ox a growing internal
political strain in Germany itself
which might make Moscow rather
than the Caucasus his main ob
jective.
Moscow in nazi hands would
have political as well as military
values. Its capture might not end
Russian resistance.. Stalin .was
fully prepared last fall to fight on
beyond the Volga or the Urals.
To the German people, however,
groaning under mounting casualty
lists and faced with the possibility
of another war winter, Herr Goeb
bles could present a nazi-held
Moscow as a new symbol of ulti
mata triumph.
And if Russian sports, other
wise unconfirmed, of near food
riots and popular clamor to stop
the war in German industrial
centers like Essen have any
foundation, Hitler might be
more concerned over his hone
front than with strictly military
considerations. His troops are
much closer to Moscow than to
Caucasian oil.
- Nazi front line forces in Russia
have risked grave military dis
asters to hold such junction kevs
for a renewed attack on Moscow
as Rzev, Vyazma, Bryansk and
other strategic points on ,the wide
Smolensk - M o s c o w front The
holding of these advance noints
has been a cardinal principle in
Hitler s winter strategy.
