I Can't Wait For The East And West Germans To Arrive
sawomi replied to Gary R Lukas's topic in Combat Mission Cold War
They where developed in the 3.Reich as M45 / Type BII (prototype was registered as patent on December 7, 1943), but only testet in combat by the Wehrmacht in small numbers (picture from September 1944, Westfront): source: https://archive.org/details/DieDeutscheWochenschauNr.733 (Minute 5:48) In GDR M45 was then improved to M56 NVA version. -> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M45_(Stahlhelm) Supposedly, before the introduction of Kevlar helmets, they had the the best ballistic protection and earshot range. Would be cool if this could be simulated in CMCW. (like very small percentage increase for shrapnel protection and command audibility range). -

Bundeswehr Flecktarn was introduced on a unit-by-unit basis as of 20 February 1991. -
Ukraine It seems to mean, what in German is a 'Mark', like "Mark Brandenburg". The equivalent English term would be a 'march'. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_(territory)

What would the fight for Berlin have looked like?
sawomi replied to Free Whisky's topic in Combat Mission Cold War
You have to understand that after May 1987 Warsaw Pact officially changed it's whole military doctrine to purely defensive - not only in 'intent' - but also in strategic operational implementation. That means no more 'defensive through attack'. Conventional World War 3 would have been fought on GDR-territory from this point on. So, no 'Fulda Gap 88', 'North German Plain 89' or 'Danube Valley 90' pseudo-'historical' scenario after May 1987! (if we believe historical records.) That means any computer game with a 'Cold War 1989 Warsaw Pact attack on Western Europe' setting is just pure fantasy. It's NOT 'pseudo-historical'. Its -Just.Pure.Fantasy. Like 'Nazi Wehrmacht 1946' or the like. Only if NATO had attacked GDR, 'Operation Zentrum' would have been executed. Of course, there where plans before that by Warsaw Pact to occupy West Berlin, but about those we have not the 'exact' details that we have about 'Operation Zentrum', as far as I know. But, then again, these pre 1987-plans would have been not THAT much different, of course. So the 'data' we have about Operation Zentrum can be used more or less also for pre-1987 West Berlin scenarios. At least in the 'broad strokes'. -

The map was created in 1990s according to the records and information of a former officer of the NVA and shows how Operation "Zentrum" (='Center') was planned in detail (from 1987 on). Objective: After NATO has carried out its aggression and crossed the GDR's state border, the "Berlin Grouping" makes a lightning advance to the Kaiserdamm Bridge. Paralyzing the "communication and political power centers" of West Berlin and blocking the barracks of the Allied protective powers. By the end of the day, West Berlin was to be divided and occupied. The urban area of West Berlin was divided into two zones of action (Sector I +II). The border between the sectors runs at: Konradshöhe, Hohenzollernkanal, Westhafenkanal, City highway ring between Freeway junction Charlottenburg and Freeway interchange Schönberg, Suburban railroad line between Papestraße and Lichtenrade. Main push direction: From west -> Heerstraße. From soutwest -> the Avus ('Automobile traffic and training road'). From east -> Straße Unter den Linden and Straße des 17. Juni. Implementation: At night taking of Tegel and Tempelhof airports by I. Battaillon of Luftsturmregiment 40 "Willi Sänger" from Lehnin. With the beginning of the attack blasting of about 60 "alleys" through the Berlin Wall. Sector I: - Leadership: 1. Mot.-Schützendivision [1. MSD] NVA (without Mot.-Schützenregiment 1). Command post in expanded basement facility in Stahnsdorf. - GDR Border Guard Grenzregiment 5, Grenzregiment 34, Grenzregiment 44 - Support through: Kampfgruppenbataillion Potsdam I + II + III + IV [KdA], Artillerieregiment 1 and one Sturmpionierbattailon from Pionierbrigade 2 of the Ministry of Defence Panzerregiment 1 [of 1.MSD] advances from south over the Avus leading the main thrust of Sector I in the center of West-Berlin. Mot.Schützenregiment 3 [of 1. MSD] advances on Heerstraße in destrict Spandau with Grenzregiment 5 on the left flank where most of the British facilities are located. Grenzregiment 34 takes the district of Kladow with the British military airfield Gatow. Grenzregiment 44 enters Wannsee district via Glienicker Bridge and Glienicker Lake (with assault boats). Mot.Schützenregiment 2 [of 1. MSD] pushes forward in secondary direction till Freeway interchange Schönberg and takes "communication and political power centers" in district Schönberg south of the city highway. Sector II: - Leadership: Grenzkommando MITTE of GDR Border Guards without Grenzregimenter 34 and 44. Command post in Berlin-Rummelsburg. - 6. independent Mot.Schützenbrigade GSSD - Mot.-Schützenregiment 1 of 1. MSD - 18. Volkspolizeibereitschaft [Barracks People's Police units of the GDR Ministry of the Interior] - Support through: Artilleriebrigade 40 NVA and one Sturmpionierbattaillon from Pionierbrigade 2 of GDR Ministry of National Defense Grenzregiment 38 and Grenzregiment 40 enter West-Berlin district Reinickendorf and advance with Mot.-Schützenregiment 1 of 1. MSD from Pankow in direction Tegel airport. 6. independent Mot.Schützenbrigade of Soviet Forces arrives from Straße Unter den Linden and brakes through the Berlin Wall on both sides of Brandenburg Gate and leads the main trust in Sector II on the Straße des 17. Juni with 18. Volkspolizeibereitschaft on right flank and Grenzregiment 33 on the left.
