		Again, the following looks to be a view from the south bank of the Dvina looking north at Dvinsk the morning after the battle, with buildings still ablaze from the German rocket fire and the road bridge to the left of the shot.
		Everyone speculates that the fascist invaders will come this way soon, and some defeatists are saying the bridges are being primed for demolition, but there seems to be a lack of activity from tanks and other heavy units in the area.
		This suggests to you either (a) that the powers that be reckon they have time to beat the invaders before they reach Dvinsk or (b) that there are no heavy units to deploy in defence of the bridges.
