Where, Will Invasion Come?
iVine Possible Action Points Described
For Allied Thrust at Axis in Europe
, By JOHN I SPRINGEIl ' . . '
" AP Features Writer j . j .
f Where the United Nations will invade axis-held Europe
- Is the closely guarded secret of military leaders, but that it will
come there is no doubt. Here are thumbnail surveys of the nine
continental regions where full-scale action may burgeon this
spring: . . -. - - ;' ;V j
FRANCES , v,! i
Allied military leaders arc not spinning a wheel te determine which
f these numbers will come up far
are considered possible second fronts.
1 NORWAY (pop. 3,000,000),
facing sea for 1100 miles
from the North Cape to Skager
rak, has already . been invaded
many times by British comman
dos. Mountainous, irregular,
fjord -bound, Norway's 12,000 mile
coastline and 150,000 islands now
shelter nazi U-boats and part of
the German fleet.
Mountains and forests have
hindered inland rail development,
and its rugged terrain makes
Norway hard to attack, relatively
easy to defend.
2 THE LOWLANDS, facing
the North sea, are level, pro
bably ripe for revolt. Holland's
broad, sandy coast consists large
ly of delta portions of the rivers
Maase and Rhine. One-fourth of
the country is below sea-level and
Inland traffic centers on canals
and rivers.
Belgium, with its seaboard of
62' miles, boasts of Antwerp, one
of Europe's greatest ports. In the
west it is low, rising - to eastern
tablelands. The most densely pop
ulated country In Europe with
SYt million natives, Belgium is
the Invasion of. Europe, bat all
rich in axis-needed coal, iron and
grains.
i
O WESTERN FRANCE, with
1500-mile coastline from the
Straits of Dover to the Pyrenees,
has been the most heavily bombed
of all potential allied invasion
points.. Low plains and bluffs
form its coast, which at its near
est point is only 22 miles from
England. Excellent rail and mo
tor roads criss-cross France, but
strong fortifications guard the ap
proaches to Germany.j
Across the channel from Eng
land are many seaports, such as
Dieppe, where the war's greatest
invasion rehearsal has been held,
4 SOUTHERN FRANCE, so-
called axis "under - belly
extends along 384 miles of Medi
terranean coast and includes Mar
seilles, France's second largest
city, and the naval base at Tou
lon. Beyond the ; coast, on tne
west, stand the rugged Cevennes
mountains. Southwest, are the
sunny plains of ! Garonne -land
Languedoc On the east tower the
Maritime Alps. 1
f - SICILY, 80 xnfiesi from Cape
Bon, Tunisia, and two miles
from Italy's toe across the Straits
of Messina, has been used as in
advance base for historic attacks
on Italy. ! - :
Sicily's 9860 square miles are
mountainous in the north. High
lands In the south, j West and
south coasts are flat; the eastern,
steep and rocky. About 1200
miles of railways serve the 4,
000,000 Sicilians who fish ard
farm. Sicily has rich sulphur de
posits.
e

ITALY has loomed as a Hke-
ly invasion point since the
US and British offensives in north
Africa. Much of its Mediterran
ean coast is mountainous, but
there are many potential landing
spots, including the! area from
O-k A BF f A " li
nome 10 iegnom mi we center,
with flat coastlines. Railroads run
along both coasts, from the tip! of
the toe to the northern Po valley
and tha Alns. !" "
The Italian army Is estimated
at about 1,500,000. The air force
numbers from 1500 to 3000
planes; the navy has 180,000 men.

-J THE BALKAN STATES
Albania, Greece, 'Yugoslavia,
Bulgaria and Rumania may be
thrown open to invasion by the
allies if - Turkey should join the
United Nations.
Separated from central Europe
by. the Transylvanian Alps in the
north, and from the Adriatic and
Ionian seas on the west by the
tall, rocky Dinaric Alps, the Bal
kan countries support more than
50,000,000 diverse peoples under
the axis, which thousands! of
guerrillas are fiercely resisting.
The geographical pattern of jthe
Balkans favors movement from
Turkey to central Europe. J
Natural link is the Danube. Ma
jor rail routes also run from the
Greek port of Salonika, where I al
lies launched a successful Balkan
invasion in World war I, and from
Istanbul up through Rumania.
' i
SPAIN, possible scene of a
nazi thrust, is the European
gateway to the British I fortress at
Gibraltar and the allies' West
flank in north Africa, j j
Despite the Pyrenees, good jrail
routes run from France to Spain
from Bordeaux to Bilbao, from
Marseilles to Barcelona. !
Although seven-eighths of, its
border touches watery Spain is
largely separated from the. seas
by steep, rocky coastal ranges
and has relatively few good har
bors. Spain's army is estimated
