ABSTRACT
The preparation of the High Commands are to be on the following basis: I. General intentions. The main body of the Russian Army stationed in Western Russia must be destroyed in both operations by the driving forward of armoured wedges and the withdrawal of combat units into the depths of Russia must be prevented. By rapid pursuit a line is to be reached from which the Russian Air Force can no longer attack Reich territory. The goal of the operation is a screen against Asiatic Russia from the general line Volga-Archangel. Then the last industrial area remaining to Russia in the Urals can in case of need be knocked out by the Luftwaffe.
