The Real Refuge of Russia

There is feature of the German invasion Of Russia which military strategsts outside the Phoenix Board of Strategy have overlooked British and French observers that there many why the invasion succeed. The principal is that the greatest military genius the world has disaster while trying same thing. O this German military experts reply that, while Napoleon wandered away from his base, the Germans taking their base with them. Wherever their armies go, they followed immediately by railroad builders whose work is pushed along the five miles T day of completed track which locomotives running. The Germans have built railroads where the Russians thought building them. and they permanent. doubl4-tsacl roads with ample equipment The Germans bridge Russian streams with concrete structures and it is all done quickly that there ;s delay except waiting the set" That a process German efficiency expedite. Thus, say the mIii- tary experts. the Germans taking only their bases with them. but they carrying tEe German frontier along with them. Germany follows closely upon the tail feathers of the German eagles which plucEing the ultimate F.airs Russian bear he scampers toward the interior.
