4. From the point of view of communications, topography and strategic positions from which to launch an offensive, the Germans appear to be better placed than the Russians. The Germans have an advantage in the efficiency of their armoured formations and are probably superior in Command, mobility and training both of land and air forces. The Russians on the other hand are likely to be numerically superior and in spite of their losses of large industrial areas last year, should be able in view of the expansion of Russian industry further east, adequately to equip and maintain their forces.
