    And NATO had a not very secret plan to defeat it. It was based on Manstein's "elastic defence". This means beating a fighting retreat in front of the Soviets till they are exhausted, their supplies low and their supply lines over extended, then hitting them hard with a concentrated armoured counterattack across their lines of retreat.

    You forgot to mention why the USSR thought this strategy would work - in 1979, they had an advantage in tactical nuclear weapons with the SS-20. It wasn't until early 1983 that the advantage swung back to the West with the deployment of the Pershing IRBM and ground launched cruise missiles capabe of nuclear strikes as far as Moscow.
    The problem with the Soviet plan was that Canada, the UK, and the USA all had significant contingents of troops and aircraft in West Germany. If any of those bases were nuked, it would guarantee a counter strike.

    I'm lookin back at those videos from 2-3 years ago and can't believe how much the quality has dropped since then.
    These videos were complete bangers and you could watch them multiple times. Now the newest videos reach up to 40 minutes and feel so plain compared to these ones.

      My Name nah, Poland is like a damsel in distress, has to get saved or liberated. Literally how it’s entire short history has gone. Polish interests just haven’t been focused on the military, more centered on developing a culture and their banging good sausage game.

      "Poland is like a damsel in distress"
      Surely you mean Vienna.
      Also you're a fool if you think Poland has a short history. They've been around for almost a thousand years...Poland Lithuania used to be one of the largest/most powerful kingdoms in Europe.
      Nicolaus Copernicus was Polish and he proved the Heliocentric model mathematically. He was the basis from which Galileo worked...
      Just saying if all you know of the Polish is the 20th century then shhhh because you dont know anything. I bet all you know of the French is that they surrender...

    The the Tom Clancy novel “Red Storm Rising” the Soviets make a push into Western Europe..There’s a scene in the book of the US Airborne in the Fulda gap, each soldier armed with a LAW ( Anti tank rocket) just raining fire from the trees and decimating the Armored column. Current events make this whole thing….Unsettling.
