Warsaw Pact Plans

[Elxaime]

The uncovered plans were dated 1979.
They assumed the creation of the separate Polish (Coast) Front with two armies (each army: three divisions in first echelon and two in the second).
The 1st Army would attack Denmark through the Jutland Penninsula.
(8th MRD, 12th MRD, 20th AD and 16th AD, 15th MRD)
The 2nd Army would attack along line Luneburg - Bremen towards the Netherlands against Dutch 1st Corps.
(4th MRD, 5th AD, 11th AD and 10th AD, 2nd MRD)
In that case Soviet 2GTA would easily focus on assault on 1st W.German Corps.

I could even upload the photo of the presented map - if I find it and if you explain me how to do it here...

But I'm sure, the uncovered plan is just the one of the possible solutions assumed then.
Besides, creating own Polish Front that time (and especially later - in 80's ) was rather nothing but a wishful thinking of some ambitious Polish generals...

Is this what the news article refers to as the "Seven Days to the River Rhine" attack scenario?

I also thought the plans may have also been for earlier times. For me, a fascinating "what if" would have been the outbreak of NATO v. Warsaw Pact confrontation in October 1962 as a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
