The overall stated or political object was to impose upon [[Russia]] the will of the [[United States]] and [[British Empire]]. The planned date for the opening of hostilities was July 1, 1945. The plan stated that [[Great Britain]] and the United States would have full assistance from the [[Polish Armed Forces in the West]] and could count upon the use of [[German]] manpower and what remains of German [[industrial]] capacity. The plan stated that "a total war is necessary", and that the authors of the plan were "not competent to express an opinion" on "the chances of [[revolution]] in the [[USSR]] and the [[political]] collapse of the present regime".
