Re: stupid strategic question

Hi Juha,

I agree the Crimea and Kuban are very close together but the Kuban offered a bridgehead for possible expansion by the Germans which may have enabled them to operate bombers from bases nearer to Baku (even 200 km closer would significantly reduce flying time), this I believe is what the Soviets were worried about.

Best Regards

Andy Fletcher
