The broad lines of Cierman strategy are plain.

That is the eisy route and would obviate the stupendous task of trying to cross the Caucasus mountains. At the same time, the ‘Germans are headed for Rostov at tire mouth of the Don, both southwird from the present battle front id eastward from Taganrog.
