(b) Reasons against adopting: (1) It would increase German commitments and necessitate the diversion of Axis forces from Russia. (2) With a continuing Russian offensive, all of Germany's reserve strength may be required to establish and hold a defensive line.

(4) An effort through Spain would involve serious communication, economic, and political problems.
