Factors Affecting the Feasibility of a Warsaw Pact Invasion of Western Europe (April 2008) FACTORS AFFECTING THE FEASIBILITY OF A WARSAW PACT INVASION OF WESTERN EUROPE A Senior Honors Thesis by Corbin Williamson Submitted to the Office of Honors Programs Texas A&M University In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWS April 2008 Major: History ii ABSTRACT Factors Affecting the Feasibility of a Warsaw Pact Invasion of Western Europe (April 2008) Corbin Williamson Department of History Texas A&M University Fellows Advisor: Dr. Donald Curtis Department of History The end of the Cold War and the opening of selected archives in both Eastern and Western Europe provide scholars the opportunity to study this period with greater accuracy and detail than was previously possible. This study sought to determine the feasibility of a Warsaw Pact invasion of Western Europe in 1987 through the examination of the factors that would have affected such an operation. The factors are the reliability of military allies, the potential for the use of nuclear weapons, Warsaw Pact strategy, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) strategy, operations on Europe’s flanks, naval operations, aerial operations, reinforcement and mobilization, readiness, terrain and weather, and ground forces. These factors were examined through iii the use of secondary literature on military forces in the Cold War as well as primary sources such as government documents and publications. After each of these factors have been analyzed then conclusions will be drawn about the probable course of such a conflict in Central Europe. The argument will be made that nuclear weapons would not have been used in the first stages of a war by NATO or the Warsaw Pact. NATO’s ability will be shown to be sufficient to successfully defend most of West Germany. As this was not the conclusion of many defense analysts during the Cold War this research highlights the importance of withholding judgments about the capabilities of military forces until all relevant data is available. iv For my fiancé, Ashley v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work would not have been possible with the aid and support of many different individuals and organizations. The Office of Honors Programs at Texas A&M University and the Melbern G. Glassock Center for Humanities Research both provided funding that made the procurement of several key books and articles possible. My advisor, Dr. Donald Curtis, supported me throughout this project and insightfully suggested that I examine the reliability of the members of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Kallie Gallagher and the Interlibrary Loan staff at the Sterling C. Evans Library helpfully and cheerfully completed my endless requests for books and articles. My roommate, John Luck, deserves thanks for putting up with my less than predictable work schedule. My parents, Matt and Lauri Williamson, and my siblings, Heather and Travis, also deserve recognition for their support and encouragement. Any errors in this work are my own and certainly not the fault of the individuals mentioned above.

This research, however, is based for the most part on primary sources, specifically on the records declassified in the United States in 2007 as a consequence of the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. The majority of the historiography on this topic either predates or neglects these records. The study of covert operations inside the Iron Curtain during the early Cold War, sponsored by Western states using émigré agents, usually ends with the conclusion that these operations were a failure, both in operational terms and from the point of view of the intelligence gathered.

  • Revolt and Crisis in Greece
    REVOLT AND CRISIS IN GREECE BETWEEN A PRESENT YET TO PASS AND A FUTURE STILL TO COME How does a revolt come about and what does it leave behind? What impact does it have on those who participate in it and those who simply watch it? Is the Greek revolt of December 2008 confined to the shores of the Mediterranean, or are there lessons we can bring to bear on social action around the globe? Revolt and Crisis in Greece: Between a Present Yet to Pass and a Future Still to Come is a collective attempt to grapple with these questions. A collaboration between anarchist publishing collectives Occupied London and AK Press, this timely new volume traces Greece’s long moment of transition from the revolt of 2008 to the economic crisis that followed. In its twenty chapters, authors from around the world—including those on the ground in Greece—analyse how December became possible, exploring its legacies and the position of the social antagonist movement in face of the economic crisis and the arrival of the International Monetary Fund. In the essays collected here, over two dozen writers offer historical analysis of the factors that gave birth to December and the potentialities it has opened up in face of the capitalist crisis. Yet the book also highlights the dilemmas the antagonist movement has been faced with since: the book is an open question and a call to the global antagonist movement, and its allies around the world, to radically rethink and redefine our tactics in a rapidly changing landscape where crises and potentialities are engaged in a fierce battle with an uncertain outcome.
