"In a carefully planned series of attacks, the Warsaw Pact begins a war against NATO. Their goal is to seize West Germany, gutting NATO militarily and economically. The Soviets will demand a high price for Germany's return, or assimilate its industry and technology for their own use."
"The Northern flank of the Soviet assault on West Germany was exposed to possible attack from the sea. To secure this flank, the Soviets planned to knock Denmark out of the war quickly. The Poles and the East Germans have been invited to participate to show their solidarity with the Socialist cause. The invasion force was spotted by NATO aerial reconnaissance, but their destination could not be determined from the ships' movements."
