[edit] Area of Pripet
According to Encarta, the area of Pripet Marshes is only 100 sq.miles (270 sq.km), not 38,000 sq. miles (nearly 100,000 sq.km). When Hitler planned to invade Russia, he envisaged one direction north of Pripet and the other south of Pripet. It does not make sense in this case if Pripet has 38,000 sq.miles. and Germany ignored this large area (to provide a sanctuary for the Russian army?) Probably 30,000 sq.km is the area of Priper Rivet Delta.
