The German Democratic Republic's emergence as the key political
player within the Warsaw Pact intensified debates concerning the
critical East German military role in Soviet strategy for the
future of Eastern Europe. Douglas Macgregor traces the origins of
collaboration to earlier forms of Russo-German military alliance.
He explores the development of military cooperation since the
formation of the GDR National People's Army in 1956 and discusses
the importance of East Germany as a military model for the Warsaw
Pact's Northern Tier. German cooperation is historically as normal
as one of conflict. The need for cooperation has been alternately
balanced by the propensity to conflict of incompatible
nationalisms. Specific historical circumstances have determined
which tendency has prevailed at any given point; contemporary
elites in East Berlin and Moscow do no more than revive an earlier
convergence of strategic and political interests.
