Marshal RtO58OV5XIT has already received orders to
concentrate German unite (inoluding soviet offices and men)
on the Polish border. A report places their strength at about

Germans as a meana for feeling the Western pulse,
This plan also involves a trick. It provides that a
large proportion of the Gersan`s in the USSR will "desert"
individusUy and as large groups. After they reach the West in
their capacity as deserteree they are to play their aseid roles
in the re*r. The same thing is planned in case of a general ws r.
