The big three’s plan may envisage Anglo-American landings on the coasts of south Norway and Denmark aimed at cutting off German troops in northern and central Norway and forcing the Nazi command to disperse further their already limited forces. Any landings on the Baltic coast of Germany presumably would be made by Soviet amphibious forces, but there remained a remote possibility of an attempt by Anglo-Am-erican fleets to t'ored the Skagerrak and Kattegat into the Baltic.
