From October 1939 on, the British and French general staff
discussed possibilities for joint military action agairrst the
Soviet Union as a potential ally of the German Reich. Apart from
weakening the USSR such action was to reinforce the economic
blockade agairrst Germany. An allied expedition- ary corpswas to be
organized under the socalled "Northplan"; the engage- ment of this
corps in Scandinavia was to lead to an easing of the military
pressure on the Finns in the winter campaign of 1939/40 and also to
a command of the North Swedish ore deposits. In January, 1940, the
Allied Chiefs of Staff began to consider a parallel "Southplan",
and serious pre- parations for its execution were begun in March.
lts aim was to launch a joint English-French attack, if possible
with Turkish support, on the Soviet oil centres in the Caucasus
Mountains. Such an attack by the French General Headquarters - set
for the end of June or beginning of July, 194- became pointless
after the German offensive agairrst France in May, 1940. The
English took up the "Southplan" again after the French surrender,
and discussions of its possibilities can be traced up to a few days
before the German attack on the Soviet Union in June, 1941. Resurne
Depuis octobre 1939, les etats-majors generaux britannique et fran
ais ont discute a maintes reprises de mesures militaires contre
l'Union Sovieti- que en tant qu'allie potentiel du Reich allemand.
