Apologies for all those who haven't read Tom Clancy's RED STORM RISING although I'm still happy for your input, but their are a few items in the book that I'm questioning if there actually plausible.
In the closing part of the novel, SACEUR (Supreme Allied Commander Europe) Robinson meets newly promoted counterpart Alekseyev in Postdam to conduct talks of a possible armistice.
Basically the proposition involved a cease fire followed by a phased withdraw over a two week period to pre-war lines.
My question was regarding the Germans regard of this offer considering that most of the land war, damage, casualties and deaths occurred on German soil and their population thus suffered more than most.
Personally, if I was a German, I think this offer would be dead in the water unless the Red Army & Red AF units pulled completely out of East Germany allowing a reunification process to begin.
I'd give the Soviet forces 24 hrs to agree.
If not, then I would pull out of NATO and start offensive operations against whats left of the C formations of the Red Army.
I would also threaten the Soviets with a full retaliatory strike (using the Luftwaffe's 72 Pershing 2B's on Volgograd, Leningrad and other Russian cities excluding Moscow due to their ABM system) if the Soviets used their battlefield nuclear assets at German forces. Minsk, Kiev etc would be spared due to their being a low population of ethnic Russians.
How plausible would this be?
