Memorandum

16 Jun 1955
Description: This memo outlines NATO's plan to form a defense grouping in Northern Germany and analyzes the consequences for Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The memo reviews discussions on command arrangements for this defense grouping with respect to coordination issues and stresses that during the initial phase of a war, the entire air force would be focused on strategic bombing and air defense. Subsequently, the paper explores strategic consequences for the Scandinavian countries.
