Future Policy for the Conduct of the War. Appreciation Of: Questionnaire by J.P.C. Question 2: Probable Commitments of Germany and Italy in August 1940 in Respect of Their Land and Air Forces in Order to Maintain Internal Security

1 Jul 1940

AIR FORCES. 12. So far as can be foreseen, provided that the conduct of the war continues as at present, no great change is likely in Italian Air Force dispositions. 13. The present concentrations in Sardinia, Sicily and the Dodecanese must be maintained to cover the Western, Central and Eastern Mediterranean respectively. The force in Libya must remain to contain Egypt and, as need scarcely be pointed out, the air forces in Eritrea, Abyssinia and Somaliland cannot possibly be moved anywhere else.
