The Achilles Heel of the Soviets - the Caucasian Oilfields
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking and evocative title given to this 1940 photographic map by G.H. Davis, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd. The image offers a vivid portrayal of the strategically vulnerable oilfields on either side of the Caucasus Mountains, which at the time were a critical source of fuel for the Soviet Union, supplying the bulk of its oil needs. The map highlights the importance of the region, with the inset focusing on the small but remote Bashkir Field, which was particularly significant due to its proximity to the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. The map also illustrates the key production sites, refineries, pipelines, and railways that were essential for transporting the oil from the fields to the rest of the Soviet Union. The Caucasus region was a strategically important area during World War II, as control of its oilfields could potentially give an advantage to any invading force. The map underscores this point, with the inclusion of neighboring countries such as Turkey, Armenia, Iran, and Kazakhstan, which bordered the Soviet Union and could potentially impact the flow of oil. The map also serves as a reminder of the importance of oil in wartime, with the Soviet Union relying heavily on these fields to fuel its military machine. The vulnerability of these oilfields, which were spread out over a vast area and difficult to defend, made them a potential weak point for the Soviet Union during the conflict. Overall, this photographic map by G.H. Davis provides a valuable historical perspective on the strategic importance of the Caucasian oilfields during World War II and highlights the challenges faced by the Soviet Union in maintaining its oil supplies during a time of conflict.
