The Warsaw Pact Plan of 1964May 2000 |
Description:
This introduction by Petr Luňák describes the change of military thinking in the Warsaw Pact from 1951 to 1964. It explains that a change from defensive to offensive thinking came after Stalin's death in March 1953, when nuclear arms were gradually included in the plans of both the Soviet army and the satellite countries. Luňák shows that the 1964 operational plan for the Czechoslovak People's Army was the result of the reevaluation of the Warsaw Pact's military strategy.
