available on the Russian front. 6. Russian Strategy. The location of Russian reserves suggests that in addition to a number of subsidiary thrusts three major offensives may be as follows:(a) From Nevel area towards Pskov and Dvinsk. (b) From the Rechitsa area towards Brest Litovsk. (c) From the Kiev Salient with primary object to cut the Lwow-Odessa railway and then exploit southwards. 7. German Strategy. Germany cannot expect to defeat the Russian offensives and her general strategy is to hold her ground as long as possible while avoiding the encirclement of any large number of divisions.
