先给题主补个41号元首令:
“列宁格勒第一,高加索第二”这个可能有点争议,因为说的是
those in the north will capture Leningrad and link up with the Finns, while those on the southern flank will break through into the Caucasus
就时间来说,他说的是两个行动同时展开,没啥先后。接着往下看:
First, therefore, all available forces will be concentrated on the main operations in the southern sector, with the aim of destroying the enemy before the Don River, in order to secure the Caucasian oil fields and the passes through the Caucasus mountains themselves.
说明重点在高加索,下面的行动大纲也是全程南线,基本就是说明重心在南
既然南方第一没啥问题,那就是为啥列宁格勒在莫斯科之前的问题。简单来说,就是莫斯科打不过去,就算打过去了也要接着和苏联野战军战斗;列宁格勒则是打完可以解放一(或两个)集团军,缩短战线。所以希特勒把刚刚在克里米亚成功攻城的曼施坦因放到列宁格勒去了,毕竟相对来说专业对口嘛
