German Forces Massed Near Soviet Borders
A large German troop buildup near the Soviet frontier prompts three possible aims for action. Analysts weigh a blitz against Russia to seize Ukrainian granaries and Caucasian oil, or a move to topple Stalin with a Nazi puppet regime, or a feint while planning a direct invasion of Britain. American observers see the first option as plausible, though some favor alternate scenarios. High Nazi officials deny plans for invasion, citing routine movements after the Balkans campaign.
