The Nazis have a two-fold
purpose in striving to reduce
the Sevastopol stronghold which
would justify the huge cost of
men and machines piled up on
its unyielding defenSes through
repeated stabs.
Capture of SevaStopol would
eliminate a dangerous Russian
position on the flank of any
German attempt to jump the
narrow Kerch strait from the

The loss Of Sevastopol would
