While scholarship abounds on the diplomatic and security aspects of the Cold War, very little attention has been paid to military planning at the operational level. In Blueprints for Battle, experts from Russia, the United States, and Europe address this dearth by closely examining the military planning of NATO and Warsaw Pact member nations from the end of World War II to the beginning of detente. Informed by material from recently opened archives, this collection investigates the perceptions and actions of the rival coalitions, exploring the challenges presented by nuclear technology, examining how military commanders' perceptions changed from the 1950s to the 1960s, and discussing logistical coordination among allied states. The result is a detailed study that offers much-needed new perspectives on the military aspects of the early Cold War.
Gestutzt auf bislang unausgewertete Quellen werden Konzeption, Organisation und Technik einer neuen deutschen Luftwaffe in der westlichen Allianz nachgezeichnet. Zentrale Bedeutung fur Ausbildung, Ausrustung und Einsatzrollen gewinnen dabei der Einbau in die atomare Vergeltungsstrategie und deren Wandel seit Beginn der 60er Jahre. Erweitert und erganzt werden diese Forschungsfelder durch Einblicke in die Luftverteidigung der NATO und die Ausbildung in den USA. Aufbau und Entwicklung bleiben dabei eng verknupft mit den Komplexen Rustungsbeschaffung, technologische Entwicklung und materielle Einsatzbereitschaft. Hochrangige Zeitzeugen vertiefen diese Einsichten aus ihrem Miterleben in den fliegenden Verbanden, der Flugabwehrtruppe und der Logistik."
