BotB First Turn WP strategy decisions

[JDR Dragoon]

6th Pol. AB. Div (Various places on Jutland)

1 Battalion to Bornholm to be dropped on the Islands rocky high ground to confuse the defenders, the rest dropped as the farther screen of an amphibious bridgehead in Faxe Bay, Zealand (as per Exercise VAL 77). Possible alternate use (known from oral polish sources) was to drop the "division" on the southern islands of Falster and Lolland (along w. a GDR MRR invading amphibiously) as part of a deception plan to lure in and cut off any extra forces that CDR LandZealand would send down there to reinforce the semi-mobile infantry brigade responsible for the coastal defence there. To the best of our knowledge this unit didn´t have any planned uses against Jutland.

36th Naval Inf. Bde (Various places on Jutland, Amph.)

This is another headscratcher. While there was a fear in NATO circles back then of WAPA amphibious forces doing a coastal "jump" in behind NATO forces in Schleswig-Holstein or against a danish island such as Funen, we now know, that nothing of the sort was planned (at least for the initial stages of the attack). Curiously enough the 36th Naval Infantry Brigade doesn´t feature in the extant planning against either LandJut or LandZealand after the mid 1960s. Which leaves this unit free to be used elsewhere, but against what? Finland? Sweden? Southern Norway or even Britain in the later phases of the offensive?
