The plan was designed by Soviet POWs in German captivity, primarily by a high-ranking NKVD officer, Ivan Biessonov, and a Red Army general, Michail Meandrov. The plan called for a naval and air invasion of Siberia by allied German and anti-Soviet Russian forces, targeting the GULAG penal system camps, recruiting more anti-Soviet forces from the prisoners, and thus opening a second front in the war between Nazi Germany and Soviet Union.
