Military Use by Warsaw Treaty Organization Forces of 20th Century Operational Routes in the Benelux and Northern Germany.
Abstract
Routes across the plains of northern Germany and the Benelux were used in both 20th Century wars. Four operations of commanders in these wars are analyzed by the author then compared to 1977 available routes on the same terrain. It is the author's thesis that these northern routes are still viable and the probable avenue of approach for Warsaw Treaty Organization forces to attack into western Europe. A summary is shown of current battlefield mobility capabilities of those forces plus a hypothetical Warsaw Treaty Organization force scenario of such an attack, with the author role-playing as its commander.
