Some Thoughts on PHP Interviews with Former Czechoslovak Generals

23 May 2000
Description: This comment by Peter Veleff about the PHP interviews with former Czechoslovak generals points out that it is clear from their statements that the Czechoslovak, or Southern Front, as described in the War Plan 1964, was not to be the main front, but a secondary direction. He shows that in case of war, the Soviet planners envisaged an advance of the Czechoslovak front that would have carried the attack within just nine days through the southern part of West Germany to the Dijon area in France. Veleff concludes that this War Plan 1964 was unrealistic, an opinion also expressed by high-ranking CSLA generals.
