The map elucidates the situation in south Russia, and also the potentials should the much-rumoured attack upon the Crimea by air and sea develop. The present German operations are against the Crimea Peninsula through the isthmus at Perekog, and eastwards against Budenny’s armies holding a lino from Rostov to Kharkov—the latter town is not included in the map; it lies in a north-west direction from Rostov. The design credited to Germany is seizure of the Crimea by land attack from the north, and by sea attack from Constanta and Varna, and thence to Datum, Russia's oil port, with an easterly laud drive through Turkey to the same port.
