Comment on the 1964 Warsaw Pact PlanMay 2000 |
|
Description:
This comment by retired US general William Odom, who served in Germany in the 1950s and 1960s and was director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan from 1985 to 1988, analyzes force developments in the Warsaw Pact between 1950 and 1980 from a US point of view. According to Odom, the force developments raise questions about the Czech War Plan 1964. For the author it is questionable how the war plan could be implemented when the Soviet military did not have an adequate inventory of low-yield nuclear weapons in the early 1960s. Odom also questions the potential of the non-Soviet Warsaw Pact troops at the time to execute the ground offensive envisioned in the 1964 War Plan. Collection: 1964 War Plan Read Document... |
