EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image from the Illustrated London News, published in 1941, depicts the Caucasian Oilfields and the imminent danger they faced during World War II. The map-like illustration highlights the strategic importance of the region, with the pipeline to Trudovaya prominently featured. The pipeline, which transported crude oil from the Caucasus to Rostov-on-Don and further to the Western Front, was a vital supply line for the Soviet Union's war effort. However, the region was under threat as the enemy, referred to in the caption as the "enemy grip on the Crimea region," had seized control of the Crimean Peninsula and the Sea of Azov. The loss of these territories cut off the Soviet Union's access to the Black Sea, making the pipeline even more crucial for the transportation of oil from the Caucasus. The illustration also shows the city of Rostov-on-Don, which was a major industrial center and transportation hub, located at the Don River. The city was under siege by the German forces, and its capture would have significant consequences for the Soviet Union's ability to supply its troops and keep the war effort going. The ominous title of the illustration, "The Caucasian Oilfields: The Imminent Danger to the Pipeline to Trudovaya," underscores the urgency of the situation and the importance of holding onto the region and its vital resources. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the strategic significance of the Caucasian Oilfields during World War II and the efforts to protect them from the enemy's grasp.
