I've been thinking of the plausibility and outcomes of this.
Such as in the late 80s East Germany, after several months to a year plan how to rebel against the Warsaw Pact. They watch the bases and Soviet troop movements that are stationed in East Germany. I understand that the Soviets may very well outnumber the East German army, even if they were to mobilize 100%.
However, if they knew when and where Soviet soldiers trained year round, where their leadership meet, etc. Could they mount a surprise attack, despite having Soviet intelligence watching their every move. Such as mobilizing the Army under the guise of a training exercise.
Would they be able to have enough force to defeat the soviet troops in country under the circumstances of surprise attack and both terrorist/ guerilla strikes, pre placed artillery and air strike locations and as well as shut down the power to their bases?
I understand that regardless of the outcome, the regular Soviet army and other Warsaw Pact Forces would get organized and stomp the hell out of East Germany within the following days.
