a simultaneous total solution in the sense of plans a and 
 
b appear  very unlikely. To be sure, the full motorization 
 
of the old dividisions, as well as the newly formed once, is
 
being carried on without deviation; however, the air force
 
will certainly not have attained their effective equipment
 
for the tasks devolving upon them for several months more
 
(even if work goes on without interruption).
 
The new motorized vehicles include chiefly the armored
 
division, the strongest new type of which is provided with 
 
assault guns. Besides, all units up to the division have
 
repair, shops and trailers. Motorization also extends to
 
armored vehicles for the transportation of ammunition, men, 
 
food, water, etc. Special tractors can be coupled up to 
 
help over formations of vehicles across the roughest 
 
terrain.
 
     From this state of affairs the conclusion can only be
 
drawn that the planned German offensive operations in 1941
 
have also been divided into stages and will be so carried
 
out.
 
     Reports disseminated, that the German Africa Corps
 
would be pushed forward toward Suez and large German con-
 
tingents toward Portugal (including Spain), are merely men-
 
 
tioned here.
